    Could you please help me to understand this sentence:
    “Whilst both components are currently made in batches of 500, this would need to change to batches of 400.”
    So for keypads:
    26000-4000=22000
    22000/500=44/batch
    44/batch * 400= 17.600
    I have calculated in this way, but I saw that I was wrong. If the number of batches is less (400<500) how could the cost be higher? I would appreciate if could help me realize where is my mistake 🙂

    Sorry for the question 🙂
    I found the mistake. 500 is not the number of batches, but the number of units in one batch 🙂 I should take a break :))

    I still want to ask why fixed machine costs are considered as relevant cost?

    It is because there are extra fixed costs payable.They vary with the number of setups.
