Question

Mankus Inc. is considering using stocks of an old raw material in a special project. The special project would require all 120 kilograms of the raw material that are in stock and that originally cost the company $816 in total. If the company were to buy new supplies of this raw material on the open market, it would cost $7.25 per kilogram. However, the company has no other use for this raw material and would sell it at the discounted price of $6.75 per kilogram if it were not used in the special project. The sale of the raw material would involve delivery to the purchaser at a total cost of $50 for all 120 kilograms. What is the relevant cost of the 120 kilograms of the raw material when deciding whether to proceed with the special project? Multiple Choice $810 $870 $760 $816

Answer 1

Answer:

$760

Explanation:

The computation of the relevant cost is shown below:

= Discounted price per kilogram × number of kilograms - delivery cost  

= $6.75 × 120 kilograms - $50

= $810 - $50

= $760

The delivery cost is already involved in the total cost. So, we have to deduct it to find out accurate relevant cost . The other information which is given is not relevant. So, we ignored it
