Louise Ltd. regularly uses material FT6 and currently there are 460kg in stock purchased for €3,128 three week ago. If this were to be sold as surplus material it would sell for €5.95 per kg. Material FT6 can now be purchased for €6.45 per kg, but it can only be purchased in lots of 1,000 kgs. The firm is considering a once- off order for a customer next month and the order would require 760kg of material FT6.


The relevant cost of material FT6 for the once-off order is:

(a) €4,902

(b) €4,672

(c) €4,522

(d) €4,128

Answer :

The relevant cost of material FT6 for the once-off order is €4,672. (B)

This is because if the firm decided to use its own stock of 460 kg, it would have to purchase additional 300 kg to meet the 760 kg requirement at €6.45 per kg.

This would result in a total cost of: (460 kg + 300 kg) x €6.45 per kg = €4,672. Hence, option (b) €4,672 is the correct answer.Therefore, Louise Ltd. would have to buy 300 kg of FT6 material at €6.45 per kg to fulfill the order. Therefore, the total cost would be €1,935.

This cost, along with the cost of the current stock would give us the relevant cost of the once-off order. The current stock of FT6 is 460 kg, which was purchased at €3,128.

Therefore, the cost of current stock per kg = 3,128 / 460 = €6.8 per kg. The relevant cost of the once-off order would be = (300 x 6.45) + (460 x 6.8) = €1,935 + €3,128 = €4,672. (B)
