Answer

(I) Calculation of Worker’s Weekly Earnings

Given:

  • Total units produced in a week = 400 units
  • Normal production per hour = 10 units
  • Wage rate per hour = Rs. 50

Step 1: Calculate Total Working Hours The worker’s total working hours can be determined by dividing the total production by the normal production rate per hour.

Step 2: Calculate Weekly Earnings Multiply the total working hours by the wage rate per hour to find the total earnings.


(II) Cost Reconciliation Statement

Given:

  • Net profit as per cost accounts = Rs. 25,000
  • Factory overhead over-recorded in cost accounts = Rs. 10,000
  • Overvaluation of opening stock in cost accounts = Rs. 5,000
  • Depreciation under-recorded in cost accounts = Rs. 3,000

Step 1: Adjustments for Reconciliation To reconcile cost profit with financial profit, the following adjustments must be made:

Particulars Adjustment (Add/Subtract) Amount (Rs.)
Add: Factory overhead over-recorded (+) Increase cost profit +10,000
Less: Overvaluation of opening stock (-) Reduce cost profit -5,000
Add: Depreciation under-recorded (+) Increase cost profit +3,000

Step 2: Calculate Adjusted Cost Profit

Step 3: Prepare Cost Reconciliation Statement
