Explanation / Answer

1a.

Depreciation on special equipment is not relavent because the equipment has no resale value. It is not an avoidable cost.

Fixed manufacturing overhead allocated is not a relavent cost because it is not an avoidable cost

Only the avoidable costs are relavent in decision making  

Relavent cost per unit= Direct materials + Direct labour + Variable manufacturing overhead + Supervisory salaries

= 14 + 10 + 3 + 2

= 29

Cost to make = Relavent cots + Contribution margin lost
