Top Estimating, Cost and Valuation MCQ Objective Questions
Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 1:
Find the book value of the machine at the end of 6 years if a machine is purchased for Rs. 15,00000 and has estimated life of 15 years. Given salvage value (Rs) at the end of 15 years is 2,25,000. Use straight line method of evaluation of depreciation.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 1 Detailed Solution
Concept:
1. Straight line method: This assumes that the loss in the value of the property is same every year and at the end of its useful life it is equal to its scrap value.
2. Constant percentage method: This assumes that thew property loses it value by a constant percentage of its value at the begining of each year. (n = life of machine)
Calculation:
Annual Depreciation is given by:
C = Cost Price of Machine = Rs. 15,00000
V = Salvage value = Rs. 2,25,000
n = estimated life of machine in years = 15
Book value (B) is given by:
B = C - nD
n = No. of years after which Book value is to be computed
B = 1500000 - 6 × 85000
B = 990000
Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 2:
The expected out turn (square metre) of sawing of the soft wood per mason per day is _____.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 2 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
The quantity of work which can be done by an artisan for trade working of 8 hours is known as out - turn work.
The outturn for different types of work are as follows:
1. Sawing of softwood = 5.5 m2 per mason per day
2. Earthwork in the excavation in foundation trenches = 2.10 m3 per mason per day.
3. Cement concrete work = 5 m3 per mason per day.
4. Earthwork in the excavation in foundation = 2.75 m3 per mason per day.
Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 3:
Calculate the quantity of the earthworks in the cubic meter for a canal embankment of 100 m long having heights of 3 m and 5 m at the two extreme edges. Top widths of the embankment are 2 m and 4 m at the two extreme edges and the side slope is 2 : 1. Use the trapezoidal method.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The trapezoidal formula is given as,
Calculation:
The section across the embankment would be trapezoidal in shape.
For extreme edge (1): Top Width = 2 m, Heigth = 3, and
Bottom width = 2 + 2 × 3 + 2 × 3 = 14 m
For extreme edge (2): Top Width = 4 m, Heigth = 5,
Bottom width = 4 + 2 × 5 + 2 × 5 = 24 m
The volume of earthwork
Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 4:
The expected out turn of the cement concrete 1 : 2 : 4 for per mason per day will be:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 4 Detailed Solution

Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 5:
Which of the following is the multiplying factor for the estimation of lead for sandy tracks?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 5 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
The distance between the source of availability of material and the construction site is known as Lead and is measured in km.
The cost of conveyance of material depends on lead.
The environment lead on the metalled roads are arrived by multiplying by a factor as follows:
a) For Sandy tracks – Lead × 1.4
b) For metal tracks – Lead × 1.0
c) For cartze tracks – Lead × 1.1
Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 6:
What is the lift of soil material for the canal shown in the figure?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Lift of material:
- It is the vertical distance calculated from the ground level up to which the laborers have to excavate the soil and remove it for the standard rate.
- It is the average height through which the earth has to be lifted from source to the place of spreading or disposing.
Calculation:
The lift of soil material for the canal =
Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 7:
A construction equipment has an initial cost of Rs. 2,00,000 and salvage value of Rs. 50,000 at the end of an economic life of 5 years. The rate of straight-line depreciation and total depreciation will be
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 7 Detailed Solution
Concept:
1. Straight line method: This assumes that the loss in the value of the property is same every year and at the end of its useful life it is equal to its scrap value.
2. Constant percentage method: This assumes that thew property loses it value by a constant percentage of its value at the begining of each year. (n = life of machine)
Calculation:
Given,
Fixed cost (FC) or purchasing Cost = Rs. 2,00,000
Scrap Value (SV) = Rs. 50,000
Life of Machine, n = 5 Years
Total depreciation = FC - SV
= 2,00,000 - 50,000
= Rs. 1,50,000/-
Depreciation per year =
=
= Rs. 30,000
For Straight line method, depreciation method annual depreciation rate (K) is given by the following formula:
K =
Hence, depreciation and total depreciation will be 0.2 and Rs. 1,50,000 respectively.
Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 8:
Whenever colour washing on Asbestos Cement corrugated sheets is done, in the estimation the plane area of the sheets is increased by ______.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 8 Detailed Solution
Concept:
- When color washing on asbestos cement sheets is done then the plane area of the sheets increased by 20 %.
- After colour washing, area = Area + (20/100) × Area.
- Corrugated surfaces shall be measured flat as fixed and not girthed.
Quantities so measured shall be increased by the following percentages and the results shall be included in general areas:
- Corrugated steel sheets ⇒ 14%
- Corrugated asbestos cement sheets ⇒ 20%
- Semi-corrugated asbestos cement sheets ⇒ 10%
Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 9:
The approximate proportion of dry cement mortar required for brick work with bricks of nominal size 19 cm × 9 cm × 9 cm, with 15% extra for frog filling and wastage is: (assume 1 m3 of wet mortar = 1.25 m3 of dry mortar)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Estimating, Cost and Valuation Question 9 Detailed Solution
For 1 m3 volume of brick work, the bricks required are 500.
Mortar needed = 1 – 500 × 0.19 × 0.09 × 0.09 = 0.23 m3
Add 15% extra for frog filling and wastage
Volume of wet mortar = 0.23 × 1.15 = 0.265 m3
1 m3 of wet mortar = 1.25 m3 of dry mortar
∴ 0.265 m3 of wet mortar = 0.33 m3 of dry mortar
∴ Dry mortar as a percentage of brick work = 33%
