Relevant Cost
Opportunity Cost
Sunk Cost
Out of Pocket Cost (Cost requiring cash disbursements in the current accounting period. Thus, depreciation is not an out-of-pocket cost because it does not require spending of cash)
Requirement: 900 gallons
Perishable
Inventory 1300 gallons
Average price $9.50 for inventory
Current price for endor $11.00
If accepted need to replace 900 gallons for an expected $11.50 (uncontrollable cost)
a. What is the real cost of endor it it is produced?
Option A: use inventory so: (900x 9.50) $8550 + (900 x 11.50) $10,350 = $18,900 ( if the special order is made and are using the inventory)
Option B: don’t use the inventory use the current price so: (900x 11) $9900 + (900x 9.50) $8550 = $18450
Option B is better. To use the current price and still make the order with a differential cost of 450 (18900-18450)
b. What is the real cost of tatooine to be used in the special order?
requirement: 1400 kg of tatooine inventory of 1900 kg
Receive an offer for $28,000 (has to be all 1900)
Paid $40,000 for the 1900 kg of tatooine (sunk cost)
Todays market $22,00/ kg
Need to get rid of its entire supply
$2000 for 500 kg of disposal
Determining the price:
Paid 40,000 so 40,000/1900 = $21.05/ kg
Offer of 28,000 so 28,000/1900 = $14.7/kg
Option A: If they sell and purchase with current price:
(40,000- 28,000) 12,000 + (22 x 1400) 30,800 = $42,800
Option B: use from inventory and
