    All of the following costs are relevant to make or buy a decision

    1. the opportunity cost of space
    2. costs that are avoidable by "buying rather than making"
    3. variable costs of producing the item
    4. costs that are differential between the make and buy alternatives

    Allocated common costs

    are never relevant in decision making

    The relevance of a particular cost to a decision is determined by the

    potential effect on the decision

    Relevant or differential cost analysis

    considers all variable and fixed costs as they change with each decision alternative

    The term that refers to costs incurred in the past that are not relevant to a future decision is

    sunk cost

    Which one of the following is most relevant to a manufacturing equipment replacement decision?

    disposal price of the old equipment

    Which of the following best describes a "sunk cost"?

    costs that were incurred in the past and cannot be changed

    For purposes of allocating joint costs to joint products, the sales value at split-off method can be used in these situations:

    no costs beyond split-off & costs beyond split-off

    In accounting for byproducts, the value of the byproduct may be recognized at the time of:

    production & sale

    To affect a decision a cost must be:

    future

    Incremental

    an expenditure which will be incurred or avoided as a result of making a decision

    Non-incremental

    any costs which would be incurred whether or not the decision is made

    Costs that are irrelevant to decision making are:

    1. sunk costs
    2. future costs that cannot be changed
    3. these costs are unavoidable

    Differential analysis

    the process of estimating the consequences of alternative actions that decision makers can take

    Relevant Costs (or revenues) must meet two criteria:

    1. they must be expected future amounts
    2. they must differ between two of the alternatives being considered

    T/F- Costs that are relevant to one decision may not be relevant to a different decision

    true

    Total cost approach

    consider all costs

    Differential cost approach

    only factor in relevant costs

    The term relevant cost applies to all the following decision situations except the

    determination of a product price

    What is always the question to ask to determine if revenues or costs are relevant?

    what difference will a particular action make

    Bottleneck

    a phenomenon where the performance or capacity of an entire system is limited by a single or limited number of components or resources

    Main product

    output of a joint production process that yields one product with a high sales value compared to the sales values of the other outputs

    Joint products

    During the next three quarters, Airco faces the following demands for air conditioner compressors: quarter 1—200; quarter 2—300; quarter 3—100. As many as 240 air compressors can be produced during each quarter. Production costs/compressor during each quarter are given in Table 78. The cost of holding an air compressor in inventory is $100/quarter. Demand may be backlogged (as long as it is met by the end of quarter 3) at a cost of$60/compressor/quarter. Formulate the tableau for a balanced transportation problem whose solution tells Airco how to minimize the total cost of meeting the demands for quarters 1-3. TABLE 78: $$ \begin{matrix} \text{Quarter 1} & \text{Quarter 2} & \text{Quarter 3}\\ \text{\$200} & \text{\$180} & \text{\$240}\\ \end{matrix} $$
