(iii) Sales value at which both companies will earn same profit
Let S = Sales value and P = Profit
Sales – Variable cost = Fixed cost + Profit
or, Contribution = Fixed cost + Profit

or, 0.20S = ` 1,72,000 + P …………………………………….(i)
MNT Ltd.
40% S = `5,80,000 + P
or, 0.40S = ` 5,80,000 + P …………………………………(ii)
By solving these equations, we will get the value of ‘S’ and ‘P’
0.20S = 1,72,000 + P
0.40S = 5,80,000 + P
- - -
- 0.20S = -4,08,000
or, S = ` 20,40,000
Putting the value of ‘S’ in equation no. (i) we will get the value of ‘P’
0.20 × 20,40,000 = 1,72,000 + P
or, P = `2,36,000
Therefore, at Sale value of `20,40,000 both the companies will earn same profit of ` 2,36,000

6. (a) The advantages of zero-based budgeting are as follows:
• It provides a systematic approach for the evaluation of different activities and ranks them in
order of preference for the allocation of scarce resources.
• It ensures that the various functions undertaken by the organization are critical for the
achievement of its objectives and are being performed in the best possible way.
• It provides an opportunity to the management to allocate resources for various activities only
after having a thorough cost-benefit-analysis. The chances of arbitrary cuts and enhancement
are thus avoided.
• The areas of wasteful expenditure can be easily identified and eliminated.
• Departmental budgets are closely linked with corporation objectives.
• The technique can also be used for the introduction and implementation of the system of
‘management by objective.’ Thus, it cannot only be used for fulfillment of the objectives of
traditional budgeting but it can also be used for a variety of other purposes.
(b) Difference between Cost Accounting and Management Accounting
Basis Cost Accounting Management Accounting
(i) Nature It records the quantitative It records both qualitative and

(ii) Objective It records the cost of producing a It Provides information to
