Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

Job cost Sheet Particulars Amount (₹) Direct materials 1,330.00 Direct wages: Deptt. X 47.50 × 8 hrs. = 380 Deptt. Y - 47.50 × 6 hrs. = 285 Deptt. Z - 47.50 × 4 hrs. = 190 855.00 Chargeable expenses 95.00 Prime cost 2,280.00 Overheads: Deptt. X = (₹ 95,000 /1,90,000 × 100) = 50% of 380 = 190.00 Deptt. Y = (₹ 1,71,000 /2,28,000 × 100) = 75% of 285 = 213.75 Deptt. Z = (₹ 38,000 /1,52,000 × 100) = 25% of 190 = 47.50 451.25 Works cost 2,731.25 Selling expenses = (₹ 3,80,000 /38,00,000 × 100) = 10% of work cost 273.13 Total cost 3,004.38 Profit (20% of total cost) 600.88 Selling price 3,605.26
