yes we can calculate total cost directly but dats not preferred presentation. so its good to segregate costs.

THOUGH THE COMPILATIONS GIVE THE ANSWERS MERGING FIXED AND VARIABLE COSTS UNDER SAME HEAD WITHOUT SEGREGATING..........BUT AS SAID BY MOHAN AND SWATI, IT MAKES IT A GOOD PRESENTATION AND GOOD IMPRESSION ON THE EXAMINER THAT U UNDERSTAND DIFFERENTIATING THE TWO.................

u can find the way to differentiat the two in the question only. It is to be understood that If they are given in merged form, it first need tobe differentiated on some basis,...........
Apart from having impression for examineers, knowledge of fixed and variable cost component will be useful in future when u will solve problems on MArginal Costing, Standard Costing,etc..Though, the sums have combined both the costs together there will be certain hints in the problem itself which will help u to break the two costs,,,it depends upon case to case basis..read the theory try to understand how the answers been arrived...with pratice m certain u will be able to break the cost easily...Best of Luck

its actually in your interest to segregate to find out correct ans, well presentation matters, but u kw operating costing n all, theres so much scope to make silly mistakes....so be careful and dont go for short cuts....

Yes this can be done, but only when we are interested in knowing overall profitability of the entity. But we use costing techniques only to anlyse, what, why and wher went wrong or right. That is why we use this path. Showing seprately fixed and variable cost aims us to know what operatons have contributed towards entity's growth and try to fix price of a unit in such a way so that fixed costs plus desired RoR can be achieved.
