Moyer Corporation is a specialty component manufacturer with idle capacity. Management would like to use its extra capacity to generate additional profits. A potential customer has offered to buy 2,300 units of component TIB. Each unit of TIB requires 9 units of material F58 and 7 units of material D66. Data concerning these two materials follow: Material Units in Stock Original Cost Per Unit Current Market Price Per Unit Disposal Value Per Unit F58 18,940 $4.40 $4.65 $4.35 D66 15,700 $6.10 $6.50 $4.80 Material F58 is in use in many of the company's products and is routinely replenished. Material D66 is no longer used by the company in any of its normal products and existing stocks would not be replenished once they are used up. What would be the relevant cost of the materials, in total, for purposes of determining a minimum acceptable price for the order for product TIB? Multiple Choice $189,290 $174,215 $168,533 $200,905

Answer:

$174,215

Explanation:

2,300 units of product

will require: 9 units of material F58

9 x 2,300 = 20,700 units of F58

The relevant cost will be the market price as it will be replenished and used in the future.

20,700 x $4.65 = $96,255‬

it will also require 7 units of material D66

2,300 x 7 = 16,100 units of D66

The minimum price for this will be the diposal value as currently aren't used and generate an inventory cost for the firm.

currently in stock 15,700 at $4.80 = $ 75,360

The difference will need to be purchased thus, market price.

purhcase of 400 units at $6.50    = $    2,600

Total cost:                                          $  77,960

Total cost of materials:

77,960 + 96,255 = 174,215
