Decision MakingDecision making involves a choice between
alternative courses of action. Examples are:
What products to produce How to produce them
How to sell them
What prices to charge
Where to buy raw materials When to replace equipment
How to allocate scarce resources
Where to expand production capacity

The Meaning of Relevance
Relevant costs and relevant revenues are
expected future costs and revenues thatdiffer among alternative courses of action.
Historical costs Sunk costs

production capacity of 44,000 towels each month.Current monthly production is 30,000 towels.
Costs can be classified as either variable or fixed
with respect to units of output.

A company manufacture footballs and has enough idle capacity to accept a speical
Order for 20,000 footballs to be sold for $14 each. The footballs normally sell for
$20 each. The variable manufacturing costs are $10 per ball and fixed MOH is $5
Per ball. There will be no additional selling or administrative costs related to theSpecial order, and special order will not affect normal sales.
Required:
Calculate the effect on net sales if the special order is accepted.

Two Potential Problems in
Relevant-Cost Analysis
Incorrect general
assumptions:All variable costs
are relevant.
All fixed costsare irrelevant.
1 2
Misleading
unit-cost data:Include
irrelevant costs.
Use same unitcosts at different
output levels.

Exercise 7-5
Make or Buy Situation
A manufacturer of television sets is considering ways
to increase the firms plant capacity utilization
because it has recently been operating at 70% ofcapacity. One proposal is to make a component
which is currently being purchased for $75 per unit.
The cost to produce the component is: DM $24.00,
DL (3hours @ $11.20 per hr) is $33.00, MOH
(applied on DL hours) is24.00 = Total cost $81.00
The anticipated work capacity for the year is 250,000
direct labour hours. MOH fixed for the year $1.75
million. Reuired: The company make it or buy it.

Part #3 for Krysta Company.
The expected additional future operating
