Kelsie Graham · Answer 1

the relevant cost will also include the differential cost for taking the order as it is related to the order being taken or not.

Explanation:

The product is regularly used therefore, it will be sold in the future.

addtional inventory cost:

6,600 x (9.80 - 9.40) = 2,640

Cost of good sold

1,300 x 9.20 = 11,960

Total cost for the order 14,600
