Question 1

Saks LTD has been approached by a customer who would like a special job to be done for him and who is willing to pay K22,000 for it. The job would require the following materials:

Material	Total Units required	Units already in stock	Book value of units in stock K/unit	Realizable value K/unit	Replacement cost K/unit
A	1,000	0			6
B	1,000	600	2	2.50	5
C	1,000	700	3	2.50	4
D	200	200	4	6.00	9

Material B is used regularly by SAKS LTD and if units of B are required for this job, they would need to be replaced to meet other production demands.

Material C and D are in stock as the result of previous over buying and they have a restricted use. No other use could be found for material C, but the units of material D could be used in another job substitute for 300 units of material E which currently cost K 5 per unit( of which the company has no units in stock at the moment).
