Question
Please help!! Please show work to get credit.
In a sell or process further decision, which of the following costs are relevant?
I. A variable production cost incurred prior to the split-off point.
II. An avoidable fixed production cost incurred after the split-off point.
Explanation / Answer
Hi,
Please find the answer as follows;
Part A:
MCE = Value Added Time/Throughput Time
Value Added Time = 1.4 (Process Time)
Throughput Time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time = 1.4 + .1 + 2.7 + 5.3 = 9.5
MCE = 1.4/9.5 = .147 or .15
Option A (.15) is correct.
Part B:
Option B (An avoidable fixed production cost incurred after the split-off point) is correct.
Thanks.
