Mehta Printers quotes prices at cost plus 25% on cost. Job P-7 had prime cost of ₹60,000, and factory overheads were absorbed at 80% of direct wages. Direct wages were ₹24,000. Office overheads are 10% of factory cost. What is the quoted price?
Factory overheads are ₹19,200, factory cost ₹79,200, office overheads ₹7,920, total cost ₹87,120. Adding 25% profit on cost gives a quoted price of ₹1,08,900.

- C₹1,05,000
- D₹1,15,500Correct
Explanation
Factory overheads = 80% × 24,000 = 19,200. Factory cost = 60,000 + 19,200 = 79,200. Office overheads = 7,920. Total cost = 87,120. Price = 87,120 × 1.25 = 1,08,900. Check against options: none match, so recompute with care is needed; see corrected key.
