Respuesta :

Answer:

 the relevant cost to make is $44.35

Explanation:

given data

Direct material = $ 8.10  

Direct labor = 24.10  

Overhead = 40.50  

Total product cost per unit = $ 72.70

Cost of purchase = $42.35

solution

we know here that 70% of overhead cost is unavoidable

so we can say that it will not be considered for decision making

so here Cost of manufacturing will be

Cost of manufacturing = $8.10 + $24.10 + ( 30% of $40.50 )

Cost of manufacturing = $44.35

and

Cost of purchase is = $42.35

so here we can say  the relevant cost to make is $44.35
