Explanation / Answer

1a)Fixed allocated cost is irrelevant while making decision as it will be incurred whether manufactured or purchased .

also fixed manufacturing overhead -traceable ,supervisory salaries will be eliminated if purchased ,so it is a relevant cost. 6*.40=2.4

Total relevant cost of manufacturing =5+7+1+2.4 = 15.4

1b)No as it will cost more if purchased (Reject)

2)

Make Buy Cost 15900*15.4 15900*18 244860 286200
