Part-A (2 Marks)

                       1.  Define the term Cost.

Cost may be defined as a total of all expenses incurred, whether paid of outstanding in the manufacture and sale of a product.

2. What is elasticity of Demand?

Marginal costing may be defined by ICWA as “the    ascertainment by differentiating between fixed costs, of marginal costs and the effect on profit of changes in volume or type of output”.

5. Define P/V ratio.

Profit- Volume ratio expressed as a percentage indicates the relative profitability of different products.

6. What is meant by Break-Even point?

It is point where the total sales are equal to the total cost. Therefore the volume of output at which neither a profit is made nor a loss is incurred.

7. Define the term costing.

According to the Institute of costs and Management Accountants (ICMA) the costing may be defined as the technique and process of ascertaining costs and studies the principles and rules concerning the determination of costs of products and services.

11. List out the types of costs.

(1) Opportunity cost
(2) Sunk cost
(3) Material Cost
(4) Marginal cost
