S1: In standard costing, the 'Labour Efficiency Variance' is calculated as (Standard Hours for Actual Production - Actual Hours Worked) x Standard Rate. S2: If the actual hours worked are less than the standard hours, the variance is favorable. Which statement(s) is/are correct?
Explanation:
Both statements are correct. The formula for Labour Efficiency Variance is (SH - AH) x SR. If AH < SH, the result is positive, indicating a favorable variance (less time taken than standard).
S1: Depreciation is charged on all fixed assets except land. S2: Depreciation is charged on land if it is a freehold land. Which statement(s) is/are correct?
Explanation:
Depreciation is charged on all depreciable fixed assets. Land (specifically freehold land) has an unlimited useful life and is not depreciated. Leasehold land is depreciated over the lease term. S1 is correct, S2 is incorrect.
A: Input Tax Credit (ITC) allows a business to reduce the tax it has already paid on inputs. R: ITC prevents the cascading effect of taxes (tax on tax). Choose the correct option.
A.A is false but R is true
B.Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
C.A is true but R is false
D.Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Explanation:
ITC allows businesses to claim credit for taxes paid on purchases against their output tax liability. This ensures tax is only levied on the value added at each stage, eliminating the cascading effect. R correctly explains the purpose of ITC.
