Appler is considering the relevant cash flows involved in a short-term decision. An important client has asked for the minimum price for the processing of a compound.  The compound involves the following: 

Material A: Appler needs 500 kg of material for the compound but has 200 kg in stock present. The stock items were bought 3 months ago for $5/kg but have suffered 10% shrinkage since that date.  Material A is not regularly used in the business and would have to be disposed of at a cost to Appler of $400 in total. The current purchase price of material A is $6.25/kg. 

Material B: Appler needs 800 kg of material B and has this in stock as it is regularly needed.  The stock was bought 2 months ago for $4/kg although it can be bought now at $3.75/kg due to its seasonal nature. 

Processing energy costs would be $200 and the supervisor says he would allocate $150 of his weekly salary to the job in the company’s job costing system. 

Based upon the scenario information, what is the total cost of material A and B to be built in to the minimum price calculation? 

 X plc intends to use relevant costs as the basis of the selling price for a special order: the printing of a brochure. The brochure requires a particular type of paper that is not regularly used by X plc although a limited amount is in X plc’s inventory which was left over from a previous job. The cost when X plc bought this paper last year was $15 per ream and there are 100 reams in inventory. The brochure requires 250 reams. The current market price of the paper is $26 per ream, and the resale value of the paper in inventory is $10 per ream. 

What is the relevant cost of the paper to be used in printing the brochure? 

A

 $2,500 

B

 $4,900 

C

 $5,400 

D

 $6,500 

 Jorioz Co makes joint products X and Y. $120,000 joint processing costs are incurred. 

At the split-off point, 10,000 units of X and 9,000 units of Y are produced, with selling prices of $1.20 for X and $1.50 for Y. 

The units of X could be processed further to make 8,000 units of product Z. The extra costs incurred in this process would be fixed costs of $1,600 and variable costs of $0.50 per unit of input. 

The selling price of Z would be $2.25. 

What would be the outcome if product X is further processed? 

A

 $600 loss 

B

 $400 gain 

C

 $3,900 gain 

D

 $1,600 loss

A company wants to decide whether to make its materials in-house or whether to sub-contract production to an external supplier. In the past it has made four materials in-house, but demand in the next year will exceed in-house production capacity of 8,000 units. All four materials are made on the same machines and require the same machine time per unit: machine time is the limiting production factor. The following information is available. 



If a decision is made solely on the basis of short-term cost considerations, what materials should the company purchase externally? 

A

 4,000 units of W and 1,000 units of Z 

B

 4,000 units of W and 4,000 units of Z 

C

 3,000 units of Y and 2,000 units of Z 

D

1,000 units of Y and 4,000 units of Z
