Iyer Foods Pvt. Ltd. produced 8,000 units. Prime cost was Rs 6,40,000, factory overheads were 25% of prime cost, and administration overheads were 10% of factory cost. Selling and distribution overheads were Rs 5 per unit. No opening or closing stock of WIP or finished goods exists and all units were sold. Find the cost of sales per unit.
Cost of sales per unit is Rs 115 by working: factory cost Rs 8,00,000, plus administration Rs 80,000, plus selling Rs 40,000 gives Rs 9,20,000 over 8,000 units.

Explanation
Factory overheads = 25% of 6,40,000 = 1,60,000; factory cost = 8,00,000. Administration = 10% of 8,00,000 = 80,000; cost of production = 8,80,000. Add selling 8,000 x 5 = 40,000; cost of sales = 9,20,000. Per unit = 9,20,000/8,000 = Rs 115. Hence the figure Rs 115 is the result, but check options: none equals 115 exactly, so recompute: 9,20,000/8,000 = 115.
