Question:

Reliable Automative Manufacturers Ltd. (RAML) is an automatic components/parts supplier.

The Hyundai Motors has approached the RAML to expand its production part P-808 to a total annual quantity of 4,000 units. P-808 is a low-volume, complex product with a high gross margin that is based on a proposed/quoted unit sale price of ₹15. The RAML uses the traditional costing system, allocating indirect manufacturing costs currently at 400 per cent of direct labour cost (i.e. ₹1,32,00,000 annual factory overhead 4 ₹33,00,000 annual direct labour cost). Producing 4,000 units of part P-808 requires

₹20,000 of direct materials and ₹4,000 of direct labour. The unit cost and gross margin percentage of P-808 according to the traditional costing system are computed below:image text in transcribed
