B ₹ 52 lakh Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C ₹ 20 lakh Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D ₹ 40 lakh Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

The fixed cost is ₹ 20 lakh. Variable cost per unit = Manufacturing overheads (maximum) - Manufacturing overheads (minimum) / (Maximum machine hours - Minimum machine hours) = (52 lakh - 32 lakh) / (8,00,000 - 3,00,000) = 4 rs per unit Variable cost at minimum machine hours= 300000*4 = 12,00,000 Fixed cost = Manifacturing overheads(minimum) – variable cost(minimum) 3200000-1200000 = 20 lakh
