Cost of Sales:
Opening Inventory (3,000 units @ GH¢17) 51,000
Production Costs (36,760 units @ GH¢17) 658,920
Total Cost of Sales 709,920
Closing Inventory (3,360 units @ GH¢17) (57,120)
Cost of Sales (Net) (652,800)
Gross Profit 115,200
Less Expenses:
Fixed Overheads 85,000
Depreciation 5,375
Total Expenses (90,375)
Net Profit 24,825

Workings:

  1. Sales Calculation:

    Total Sales=240,000+160,000+144,000+224,000=768,000\text{Total Sales} = 240,000 + 160,000 + 144,000 + 224,000 = 768,000

  2. Production Budget:

Quarter Sales (Units) Closing Stock Total Required Opening Stock Production Units
Q1 12,000 2,000 14,000 3,000 11,000
Q2 8,000 1,800 9,800 2,000 7,800
Q3 7,200 3,920 11,120 1,800 9,320
Q4 11,200 3,360 14,560 3,920 10,640
Total 38,760
  1. Material Purchase Budget:
Quarter Material Usage Closing Stock Total Required Opening Stock Purchase Quantity
Q1 88,000 6,400 94,400 7,000 87,400
Q2 62,400 5,800 68,200 6,400 61,800
Q3 74,560 5,200 79,760 5,800 73,960
Q4 85,120 4,600 89,720 5,200 84,520
  1. Direct Labour Budget:
Quarter Production Units Hours per Unit Total Hours Labour Rate Total Cost
Q1 11,000 1.2 13,200 3.50 46,200
Q2 7,800 1.2 9,360 3.50 32,760
Q3 9,320 1.2 11,184 3.50 39,144
Q4 10,640 1.2 12,768 3.50 44,688
  1. Depreciation Calculation: Depreciation=(5%×100,000)=5,000\text{Depreciation} = (5\% \times 100,000) = 5,000 Adjusted for capital expenditure: Depreciation=(5%×100,000×312)+(5%×110,000×912)=5,375\text{Depreciation} = \left( \frac{5\% \times 100,000 \times 3}{12} \right) + \left( \frac{5\% \times 110,000 \times 9}{12} \right) = 5,375
