    Hi my dear tutor, I have a question

    Direct labor

    semi-skilled–100 hours @ $ 3.50————$350

    Note 4

    Semi-skilled labor is presently under-utilised, and 200 hours per week are currently recorded as idle time. if the printing work is carried out, 25 unskilled hours would have to occur during the weekend, but the employees concerned would be given two hours time off druing the week in lieu of each hour worked at the weekend.

    underutilised 100 hours

    idle time——-200
    weekend—-(75)
    job
    equal———-125
    remaining—–(25)
    weekends
    equal————100
    time off—- —-(50)
    surplus equal–50

    its relevant cost is zero.I know idle time will be paid anyway therefore its relevant cost is zero.
    My question here is that could you explain the above solution method and I watched it lsbf video when the tutor explained it but i could not catch it but i know that its relevant cost is zero

    thanks in advance

    Is this a past exam question (and if so tell me which exam) or an LSBF question?

    Please don’t expect me to explain LSBF lectures 🙂

    We might have imagined that it is not the question relates to lsbf it is just relevant costing question, I migh consider it lsbf but not all question we find belongs to lsbf or becker or bpp revision kit,probably it has been taken from anywhere.

    The relevant cost is indeed zero for the reason you state. I am not going to spend time looking at how they arrived at the same answer!
