    1 and 2 are both explained in my free lectures on relevant costing (for (1) I use exactly the same answer as you have typed!!!)

    For 3, There are 350 hours of spare capacity, so the relevant cost of these is 350 x $9.
    As far as the other 250 hours are concerned, they either take from other work, in which case the relevant cost per hour is 5 + 9 = $14; or alternatively they work overtime in which case the relevant cost per hour is $18. They will choose the cheapest, and so they will take from other work and the relevant cost of these hours is 250 x $14.

    1. Correct.
    2. No – not correct. Again, watch the lectures! If material is not used in regular production but has a scrap value, then this is the opportunity cost.
    3. Correct.
