Three workers X, Y, and Z take 25 hours, 30 hours and 15 hours respectively to produce 10 units of the product and their respective wage rates are Rs. 6.00, Rs. 6.50 and Rs. 7.00 per hour. The material cost is Rs. 50/- per unit and the overhead recovery rate is @ 500% of cost of wages. The standard cost of production per unit is determined at Rs.175 per unit. What is the amount of incentive earned by each of these workers and what is the actual cost of production per unit in each case? | 10 | (0) |

| | (c) | A tool manufacturing SSI Unit requires about 900 nos. of HSS bars of size 2 cm square and 10 cms length in machined and annealed condition. The unit can get the input as above in two ways: | (i) | Purchase un-machined HSS bars of standard size of 2.5 cm square and 10 cms lenght from market at a price of Rs. 60.00 per piece and then machine in its machine shop with shapers to size 2 cms square and 10 cms length and anneal it further in its heat treatment shop. The cost of shapers is Rs. 6 per cubic centimeter of metal removed. The annealing cost is Rs. 900 for a batch size of upto 200 nos. maximum and if the batch size is smaller the same cost will be incurred. The HSS scrap produced after machined can be sold in scrap market at the rate of Rs. 4 per cubic cm. | | (ii) | The unit has got an offer from another firm for supply of machined and annealed HSS bars @ Rs. 115 per piece.
Which alternative should the unit adopt? |
