Direct material cost (bought in parts) $40
Direct material cost : all of the parts currently proposed for the webcam are bespoke parts. However most of these can actually be replaced with standard parts costing 55%less.
However 3 if bespoke parts which currently account for 20% of the estimated direct material cost cannot be replaced although an alternative supplier charging 10% less has been sourced for these parts.
What is the direct material cost per unit in light of new information?
Its a bit of confusion this question about the replaced part and not replaced part. Im not understanding. Pls explain sir
Ask the Tutor ACCA PM
Target costing
The bespoke parts currently cost 20% x $40 = $8 and will be replaced and so will cost $8 less 10%.
The other parts currently cost 80% x $40 = $32 and will be replaced and so will cost 55% less.
