what was the answer to the question that had the insurance and delivery costs listed on the invoice, and said the accountant made it a product cost and then asked you to work out the cost of a individual item? were we meant to use product or period? I am not sure if it was a little trick question..
It simply asked for the effect on profit if you were to treat all additional costs as product and/or period....
My answers for this question (1.5.2) were basically:
If all expenses are written off as period costs, then profit is understand, as not all stock has been sold, and the extra amt has yet been consumer/expensed
If all expenses were product costs, then profit will be slightly higher, as only the amount consumed is written of as cost of sales.
