<em>RELEVANT</em>

<em>A relevant cost is a cost or costs that will be incurred as a result of the decision, and which will change in the future as a result of that decision. In this case, the employees will be reassigned which implies that the cost of their salaries will be a cost to be borne when they employ new hands.</em>

C) The space now used to produce the magnets would be used to eliminate the need to rent warehouse space.

<em>RELEVANT</em>

<em>A relevant cost is a cost or costs that will be incurred as a result of the decision, and which will change in the future as a result of that decision. In this case, the space will be reassigned which implies that the cost of their rent will be a cost not to be saved.</em>

In this case, the revenue will be reduced by 50% which implies that the inflow of sales will be half the original amount going forward. This is futuristic and hence relevant</em>
