a). relevant cost=$38,500

b). relevant cost=$104,500

c). relevant cost=$66,000

d). relevant cost=$66,000

Explanation:

a).

Relevant cost for a rework cost of $3.50 per unit

relevant cost=rework cost per unit*number of units

where;

rework cost per unit=$3.50

number of units=11,000

replacing;

relevant cost = (3.5*11,000) = $38,500

b).

relevant cost=total rework cost+total manufacturing cost

total rework cost=rework cost per unit*number of units

total manufacturing cost=manufacturing cost*number of units

relevant cost = (rework cost per unit*number of units) + (manufacturing cost per unit*number of units)

where;

rework cost per unit=$3.50

number of units=11,000

manufacturing cost per unit=$6.00

number of units=11,000

replacing;

relevant cost = (3.50*11,000) + (6.00*11,000) = $104,500

c).

Rework cost and opportunity cost

relevant cost = (rework cost per unit*number of units) + (opportunity cost per unit*number of units)

where;

rework cost per unit=$3.50

number of units=11,000

opportunity cost per unit=$2.50

number of units=11,000

replacing;

relevant cost = (3.50*11,000) + (2.50*11,000) = $66,000

d).

Manufacturing cost and opportunity cost

relevant cost = (manufacturing cost per unit*number of units) + (opportunity cost per unit*number of units)

where;

manufacturing cost per unit=$3.50

number of units=11,000

opportunity cost per unit=$2.50

number of units=11,000

replacing;

relevant cost = (3.50*11,000) + (2.50*11,000) = $66,000
