Question

Yehle Inc. regularly uses material Y51B and currently has in stock 457 liters of the material for which it paid $2,619 several weeks ago. If this were to be sold as is on the open market as surplus material, it would fetch $5.21 per liter. New stocks of the material can be purchased on the open market for $5.81 per liter, but it must be purchased in lots of 1,000 liters. You have been asked to determine the relevant cost of 700 liters of the material to be used in a job for a customer. The relevant cost of the 700 liters of material Y51B is:
a. $5,810
b. $3,647
c. $3,794
d. $4,067

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A is the correct answer,$5810

Explanation:

The relevant of the Y51B is the cost of replacement,which is the open market price as it is actively being used by Yehle Inc.

Besides, if the quantity currently in inventory is used it has to be replaced at open market price.

Disposal value would have been used if the material in question is not being used

The relevant of 700 liters is given below:

$5.81*1000=$5,810

1000 liters has to be bought not 700 liters as the least quantity available for sale is 1000 liters.

Above,it would be wrong to choose option D as 700 liters is not available
