The company already has 640 liters of this raw material in stock that originally cost $8.30 per liter. Material W34C is used in the company’s main product and is replenished on a periodic basis. The resale value of the existing stock of the material is $7.60 per liter. New stocks of the material can be readily purchased for $8.35 per liter.

Data concerning these two materials follow: Material I57 is in use in many of the company’s products and is routinely replenished. Material M97 is no longer used by the company in any of its normal products and existing stocks would not be replenished once they are used up. What would be the relevant cost of the materials, in total, for purposes of determining a minimum acceptable price for the order for product VGI? (Points : 2) $174,850 $213,130 $213,850 $171,925 9.

The annual costs to manufacture the 40,000 doors needed each year are as follows: Delilah Glass Corporation has offered to provide Quikcook with all of its annual door needs for $14 per door.
