Below are the details for the production of each unit: Material requirements: 5 kg of Material A 3 kg of Material B 4 kg of Material C Note 1: Currently 1,600 kg of Material A is held by the business and it is regularly used by the business. This material of was originally bought for 9 per kg. It would cost 16 per kg to replace it. Sales value is 13 per kg. Note 2: Currently 900 kg of Material B is held by the business. This material was originally bought for 20 per kg. The material is not currently used by the business and its scrap value is 7 per kg. The only foreseeable alternative use is as a substitute for material D (in constant use) but this would involve further processing cost of 6 per kg. The current buying cost of material D is 14 per kg. Replacement cost for material B is 19 per kg. Note 3: Material C is regularly used by the business and currently there is none available in the business. An order for 800 kg is shortly to be placed for another project by the business.
