A quotation now needs to be prepared on a relevant cost basis so that BP Co can offer a price as competitive as possible for the order.

The paper is regularly used by BP Co. There are currently 20.000 m2 in inventory, which cost $ 1,4 per m2. The current purchase price of the paper is $ 1,6 per m2.

• What price for paper should be included in the quotation?(round to one decimal place)

The ink is regularly used by BP Co and usually costs $ 0,2 per ml.

BP Co already has 600.000 ml in inventory, but 500.000 ml of this is needed to complete other existing orders in the next two weeks.

To import the ink it takes at least five weeks. An alternative national supplier could deliver immediately, but they would charge $0,28 per ml.

• What is the relevant (total) cost for Ink?(round to zero decimal place)

The skilled labour force is employed under permanent contracts of employment under which they must be paid for 40 hours per week's labour, even if their time is idle due to absence of orders.

Their rate of pay is $ 36 per hour, although any overtime is paid at time and a half.

In the next two weeks, there is spare capacity of 34 labour hours.

• What fee for skilled labour should be included in the quotation?(round to zero decimal place)

The factory overhead costs are composed of three items: electricity, supervisor's salary and depreciation.

The $ 12 per hour factory overheads costs are composed of:

a) $ 6 per hour reflects the electricity costs of running the printing machine.

b) $ 2 per hour reflects the cost of the factory supervisor's salary. The supervisor is paid an annual salary and is also paid $ 50 per hour for any overtime he works.

c) $ 4 per hour reflects the depreciation of printing machines. The printing machines are regularly used, but there is enough spare capacity to produce the requested books.

• Determine the relevant cost to be included in the quotation, for the factory overheads.(round to zero decimal place)
