    a machine is no longer used by a company.it could be sold now for net proceeds of $300.its only other use is on a short-term contract which is under consideration.the variable running cost of the machine during the period of the contract would be $400.on completion of the contract the machine would have no realisable value and would cost $150 to dismantle and remove

    what is the total relevant cost of using the machine on the contract?

    loss of proceeds-300
    running cost-400
    dismantle-150
    equal 850
    could u explain it why i take 300 as loss of proceeds?

    It is an opportunity cost (i.e. lost income).

    If they did not use the machine then they would sell it and receive 300. By using it, they will not receive the 300 and it is therefore effectively a cost of using the machine.
