Is allowance for administration cost a relevant cost.

AAbdul11y ago
I came across a question which says "It is company policy to add 20% to the production cost as an allowance against administration costs associated with the jobs accepted" Is this a relevant cost? Do we include this to find the cost for the one-off order?

It is not a relevant cost. If you are asked simply for the total cost then it is irrelevant, because it does not involve the company paying any additional costs in total.
