relevant costing

LLokesh4y ago
Page no. 53 in examkit ( BPP ) section C question - 164 Robber (6/12) Discussion is about relevant costing and making bad decisions but there is no hint of a relevant costing. The most obvious one is , 'One-off order / special order'. I did it, but found in answers I have to Ignore the fixed costs becz of relevant costing

It says the price is guranteed for 2 years, so, Its nit just one off order, Robber would be Ordering for two years. - After reading solution, The Relevant costing does seem Right way to do it

Also , In answer the assumption is made, That the fixed costs only arise when Production is made. While i was doing it, I didn't made any much assumption, and added Some Fixed costs to "If we bought componants costs" which seems silly now. But, I Calculated the A) Wrong and found That i ranked The both products wrongly as my total saving was wrong. Would i get full marks for B) On my Calculated saving per unit ?

You do not lose marks twice for the same mistake. So if you made mistakes in Part A then you would lose some of the marks for that part. However if you did Part B correctly using your figures from Part A then you would get full marks for Part B.
