I have solved the question using relevant costing but I was confused in one thing.
Machine cost are semi-variable costs so the variable component should be relevant to decision making while fixed cost should not but here we are taking both fixed and variable as relevant cost.
Can you help me that why fixed are considered as relevant.November 19, 2022 at 7:11 am #671839The machine has fixed & valuable components of costs. Hence should that machine wasn’t utilized, these costs, including fixed component couldn’t be incurred. Therefore, those fixed cost are specific to the decision being made (that means they’re relevant to that specific decision), and they are not general fixed costs.

maximus07: What Navilas has written is correct 🙂
November 19, 2022 at 1:36 pm #671861The question does not specifies that these are specific cost.
There can be a case of having fixed cost irrelevant to decision e.g. depreciation on straight line bases.November 19, 2022 at 6:04 pm #671881If they outsource production then the fixed machine costs will not be incurred!
