Assumptions Used
1.The overheads of Rs40 include a depreciation of Rs.10 per unit which is a non-cash item.
So,this depreciation has been ignored and overhead cost is taken as Rs.30
2.In valuation of work-in progress, the raw materials are taken at full requirement but wages
and overheads are taken at 50% on the assumption that on an average all units of work-in
progress are 50% complete.
3.It is assumed that a month consists of 30 days and hence a year consists of 360 days.
