relevant costing

Ddarsh19978y ago
I am referring to the following post: https://opentuition.com/topic/relevant-costing-68/ 1. Why $11,000 lost income is not an opportunity cost? If we replace it, we are loosing the chance of earning more money?

If we buy a new the machine that we will not be losing the income (because we will still have the old one) !!!

I am still referring to the previous post. 1. "If they take the machine for the new order, they have the choice of either replacing the machine and so paying $10,000" - If they take the machine, why they would need to replace it? If they use the machine they will not be able to earn an income of $11,000

They would be silly not to replace it because they would be paying 10,000 so that they could continue to earn 11,000, which is worth doing.
