    The following information is available for identifying the relevant cost of materials for a job for a customer.
    The company’s management wants to establish a minimum price at which it is prepared to take on the job.
    Material Total quantity
    required
    Currently in
    inventory
    Carrying value
    per kg
    Realisable value
    per kg
    Replacement
    cost per kg
    kg kg $ $ $
    W 500 0 – – 8
    X 500 300 5 3 7
    Y 500 400 8 9 11
    Z 100 100 10 12 15
    Material Y is in regular use by the company. Materials X and Z are no longer in regular use. There is no
    alternative use for Material X but the 100 kg of Material Z could be used instead of 150 kg of Material V on a
    different job. Material V costs $9 per kg and there is currently none of this material in inventory.
    What is the relevant cost of these materials for the job under consideration?
    A $10,850
    B $11,350
    C $12,200
    D $12,350

    20.9 D (Syllabus area B1(b))
    $
    Material W 500 kg × $8 =4,000
    Material X 500 kg × $3 =1,500
    Material Y 500 kg × $ =11 5,500
    Material Z Higher of (100 × $12) and (150 × $9) =1,350
    =12,350

    Hi Mike I am having trouble with the cost of X we have 300 in inventory and we need 500 for the special job,so i costed at 300 x NRV which is 3 and 200 with the replacement cost per kg but the kit has multiplied the 500 with 3(NRV)
    Kindly clarify

    Mike does not teach Paper F5 for us (and never has) !!

    I don’t know which edition of the BPP Revision Kit you are using, but it is not question 20.9 in the current edition 🙂

    However I remember the question, and it was a mistake by BPP. The correct answer is as you have written – 300 at $3 and 200 at $7.

    (Incidentally, if you are using last years edition of the Revision Kit, then that is no problem. But do be aware that the format of the exam has now changed and there will be more MCQ’s and fewer long-form questions. There is a specimen exam on the ACCA website.)
