Material cost
Sr. No. | Material | AG-5 | KL-2 | CW-7 | DF-6 | BH-3 |
A | Requirement (Pounds) per lot of 1,000 | 340 | 230 | 120 | 310 | |
B | Total requirement (A*29) | 9860 | 6670 | 3480 | 8990 | |
C | Inventory | 23000 | 4100 | 7300 | 7690 | 5400 |
D | Replacement material | BH-3 | ||||
E |
Net requirement after replacement (B adjusted for replacement) |
4460 | 6670 | 3480 | 8990 | 5400 |
F | Usage from inventory (min of C and E) | 4460 | 4100 | 3480 | 7690 | 5400 |
G | Fresh purchase (E - F) | 0 | 2570 | 0 | 1300 | 0 |
H | Inventory cost per unit ($) | 0.72 | 0.41 | 1.24 | 0.43* | 0.08** |
I | Fresh purchase cost per unit ($) | 0.82 | 0.46 | 1.44 | 0.51 | |
J | Total Material cost (F*H) +(G*I) *** | 3211.2 | 2863.2 | 4315.2 | 3969.7 | 420 |
K | Total material cost (sum of all J) | 11568.1 |
Notes:
* Since DF-6 is no longer in use, the appropriate cost to be considered is the opportunity cost for not selling it , which is 0.51 less 0.08 of selling cost or 0.43
** For BH-3, the salvage value is the opportunity cost
*** The material cost is calculated by applying current purchase cost to quantity available in stock and fesh purchase cost for additional quantity.
Labour cost
