A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/11/M/J/25
Question 24 from 9706/11/M/J/25

Explanation

Marginal Costing Profit Calculation Steps:

  • Sales revenue = 125 batches × 12=12 = 12=1,500
  • Total variable costs = 125 batches × 4=4 = 4=500
  • Contribution = 1,500−1,500 - 1,500−500 = $1,000
  • Profit = contribution - total fixed costs (300)=300) = 300)=700 Why C is correct:
  • Marginal costing defines profit as total contribution (sales minus variable costs) less total fixed costs, yielding $700 here. Why the others are wrong:
  • A. $500: Ignores variable costs, subtracting fixed from sales only.
  • B. 25:Likelyusesabsorptioncostingwithfixedcostsperunit,incorrectlyallocating25: Likely uses absorption costing with fixed costs per unit, incorrectly allocating 25:Likelyusesabsorptioncostingwithfixedcostsperunit,incorrectlyallocating300 over 125 batches.
  • D. $1000: Omits fixed costs, equating profit to contribution alone.

Final answer: C
