Solved Problems of Cost Accounting


Problem 5:
The Rustam Company has developed the following data to assist in controlling one of its inventory items:
Economic Order Quantity: 1000 Kg
Average daily use: 100 Kg
Minimum daily use: 80 Kg
Maximum daily use: 120 Kg
Working days per year 250 days
Safety stock  400 Kg
Cost of carrying Inventory  Rs. 1.00 per Kg. per year
Lead Time 7 working days
Required:
(i) Order Point
(ii) Average Inventory
(iii) Normal Maximum Inventory
(iv) Absolute Maximum Inventory
(v) Cost of Placing one order.

Solution:
(i) Order Point = Normal daily use x lead time + safety stock
Order Point = (100 x 7) + 400 = 1100 Kg.

Inventory Turn Over:
Inventory turnover is a ratio of the value of materials used or finished goods sold during a certain period to the average inventory of materials or finished goods held during the period. In the form of formula, it may be written as following:

Compare the anatomy of Bifacial and Isobilateral leaves

BIFACIAL LEAF: It is also called dorsiventral leaf. This leaf is more strongly illuminated on upper surface than on lower surface. This unequal illumination induces a difference in the internal structure between upper and lower sides. Its internal structure shows: (1)        Upper Epidermis This is single layer of cells with thick cuticle which checks excessive evaporation of water from the surface. It does not contains chloroplasts, stomata are also absent. (2)        Lower Epidermis This is also single layer but with a thin cuticle. It bears many stomata, two guard cells of which contain some chloroplast, none are present in the epidermal cells. Internal to each stomata is large cavity called respiratory cavity. Lower epidermis of leaf is meant for exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the atmosphere and the plant body. Excess water also evaporates from lower epidermis. (3)...

Autobiographical elements in A Farewell to Arms

Introduction Some, literature can be satisfactorily read and discussed taking the author into account. Other literature seems inseparable from the person who created it. To an extraordinary degree Hemingway and what he has written exist in a synergetic relationship, reinforcing and fulfilling each other; he has created a personal legend which serves as an ambience in which we read him. Autobiographical Touches The novel A Farewell to Arms autobiographical elements. The love-affair between Fredric and Barkley, the hero’s injury in the battlefield, his despair and frustration, the hero’s separate peace with life are some of the characteristics of Hemingway’s life. Hemingway himself had received the injury caused by the mortar-shell at Fossalta, and he was admitted into the Milan hospital for recuperation in the late summer and autumn of 1918. He fell in love with the nurse in the Milan hospital. Carlos Baker has thrown light on this fact. In A Farewell to Arms Hemingway was d...

osmoregulation in terrestrial and aquatic animals

Mechanism of osmoregulation is very important for all groups of animals whether inhibting land or water. Unlike plant cells, animal cells when placed in hypotonic solution burst due to the continuous absorption of water. On the contrary they would shrink and die if constantly placed in hypertonic solution. Normally uptake and loss of water are in balance for proper survival of cell. (1)        Osmoregulation in terrestrial animals: Terrestrial animals are more likely to loose water by evaporation through their permeable surfaces exposed to amsophere. Among various animal groups only Arthropods and vertebrates became the most successful land dwellers. They have developed number of strategies to maintain osmoregulation of their body fluid. (a) Water proof external coverings: To prevent water loss through external surfaces, vertebrates like reptiles, birds and mammals have water proof keratinized epidermis. Similarly the insects have developed...
