Asked in a 2014 paper

Considering two fiscal years 2013 and 2014, an input price in 2013 and 2014 are $9 and $11 per unit respectively and input required units in 2013 to produce output in 2014 are 30000 units, then cost effect of price recovery will be ___________?

Correct answer: A. $60,000

  • A. $60,000
  • B. $6,000
  • C. $65,000
  • D. $6,500

Explanation

The price increase is $11 − $9 = $2 per unit, and applying it to 30,000 units gives a price-recovery effect of $2 × 30,000 = $60,000. This measures the benefit or cost effect caused solely by the change in input price.
