Answer:
Therefore the company should sell material R for $3.91 per kilogram.
Explanation:
Product S88Y:
Current cost (2 kg × $7.60)
=$15.20
Thus If material R were to be used, that means 4 kilograms would be needed.
Hence It currently costs $15.20 for Product S88Y to maintain this same cost.
Therefore material R would be:
[($15.20 ÷ 4 kg) − $0.77]
=3.8kg-$0.77
=$3.03 per kg
Therefore the company should go ahead and sell material R for $3.91 per kilogram.
