Question

​The following pie-chart shows the percentage distribution of the expenditure incurred by a company in manufacturing electric kettles. Answer the given question based on the pie-chart.

If for manufacturing a certain quantity of electric kettles, the company has to pay ₹56,000 towards direct material cost, then how much will be the manufacturing overhead cost?

A.

₹35,000

B.

₹45,000

C.

​₹40,000

D.

​₹46,000

Correct option is D

Given:

Direct material cost = ₹56,000

Direct material accounts for 28% of the total expenditure.

Manufacturing overheads account for 23% of the total expenditure.

Formula Used:

Total Expenditure=Direct Material CostPercentage of Direct Material\text{Total Expenditure} = \frac{\text{Direct Material Cost}}{\text{Percentage of Direct Material}}

Manufacturing Overhead Cost=Total Expenditure ×Percentage of Manufacturing Overheads​​

Solution:

Total Expenditure=56,0000.28=200,000()\text{Total Expenditure} = \frac{56,000}{0.28} = 200,000 (₹)

Manufacturing Overhead Cost=200,000×0.23=46,000 (₹)\text{Manufacturing Overhead Cost} = 200,000 \times 0.23 = 46,000 \text{ (₹)}​​​​

The manufacturing overhead cost is ₹46,000.

Option (d) is right answer.
