A decision model is a formal method
for making a choice, often involving
quantitative and qualitative analysis.

Differentiate relevant
from irrelevant
costs and revenues in
decision situations.

The Meaning of Relevance
Relevant costs and relevant revenues are
expected future costs and revenues that
differ among alternative courses of action.

The Bismark Co. manufacturing plant has a
production capacity of 44,000 towels each month.
Current monthly production is 30,000 towels.
Costs can be classified as either variable or fixed
with respect to units of output.

Learning Objective 4
Beware of two potential
problems in
relevant-cost analysis.
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
11 - 14
Two Potential Problems in
Relevant-Cost Analysis
1
Incorrect general
assumptions:
All variable costs
are relevant.
All fixed costs
are irrelevant.
2
Misleading
unit-cost data:
Include
irrelevant costs.
Use same unit
costs at different
output levels.
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster

Outsourcing versus Insourcing
Outsourcing is
purchasing goods
and services from
outside vendors.
Insourcing is
producing goods
or providing services
within the organization.

Make-or-Buy Decisions Example
Bismark Co. also manufactures bath accessories.
Management is considering producing a part it
needs (#2) or buying a part produced
by Towson Co. for $0.55.
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster

Make-or-Buy Decisions Example
Bismark Co. has the following costs
for 150,000 units of Part #2:
Direct materials
$ 28,000
Direct labor

©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
11 - 18
Make-or-Buy Decisions Example
Mixed overhead consists of material
handling and setup costs.
Bismark Co. produces the 150,000 units
in 100 batches of 1,500 units each.
Total material handling and setup costs
equal fixed costs of $9,000 plus variable
costs of $200 per batch.

11 - 19
Make-or-Buy Decisions Example
What is the cost per unit for Part #2?
$120,500 ÷ 150,000 units = $0.8033/unit
Should Bismark Co. manufacture the part
or buy it from Towson Co.?
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
11 - 20
Make-or-Buy Decisions Example
Bismark Co. anticipates that next year the
150,000 units of Part #2 expected to be
sold will be manufactured in 150
batches of 1,000 units each.
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
11 - 21
Make-or-Buy Decisions Example
Variable costs per batch are expected to
decrease to $100.
Bismark Co. plans to continue to produce
150,000 next year at the same variable
manufacturing costs per unit as this year.
Fixed costs are expected to remain the
same as this year.

Now assume that the $9,000 in fixed clerical
salaries to support material handling and
setup will not be incurred if Part #2 is
purchased from Towson Co..

Explain the opportunity-cost
concept and why it is
used in decision making.
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
11 - 27
Opportunity Costs,
Outsourcing, and Constraints
Assume that if Bismark buys the part from
Towson, it can use the facilities previously
used to manufacture Part #2 to produce
Part #3 for Krysta Company.
The expected additional future operating
income is $18,000.
What should Bismark Co. do?
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
11 - 28
Opportunity Costs,
Outsourcing, and Constraints
Bismark Co. has three options regarding Krysta:
1. Make Part #2 and do not make Part #3.
2. Buy Part #2 and do not make Part #3.
3. Buy the part and use the facilities to produce
Part #3.

Opportunity Costs,
Outsourcing, and Constraints
Expected cost of obtaining 150,000 parts:
Buy Part #2 and do not make Part #3: $82,500
Buy Part #2 and make Part #3:
$82,500 – $18,000 =

Opportunity Costs,
Outsourcing, and Constraints
Opportunity cost is the contribution to income
that is forgone (rejected) by not using a
limited resource in its next-best alternative use.

11 - 31
Opportunity Costs,
Outsourcing, and Constraints
Assume that annual estimated Part #2
requirements for next year is 150,000.
Cost per purchase order is $40.
Cost per unit when each purchase is
1,500 units = $0.55.
Cost per unit when each purchase is equal
to or greater than 150,000 = $0.54.

Opportunity Costs,
Outsourcing, and Constraints
Average investment in inventory is either:
(1,500 × .55) ÷ 2 = $412.50 or
(150,000 × $0.54) = $40,500
Annual interest rate for investment in
government bonds is 6%.
$412.50 × .06 = $24.75
$40,500 × .06 = $2,430

Equipment-Replacement
Decisions Example
Ignoring the time value of money and
income taxes, should the company
replace the existing machine?
The cost savings over a 4-year period will be
$36,000 × 4 = $144,000.
Investment = $105,000 – $14,000 = $91,000
$144,000 – $91,000 = $53,000

performance evaluation model
used to evaluate the manager.

Decisions and
Performance Evaluation
In the real world would the manager
replace the machine?
An important factor in replacement decisions
is the manager’s perceptions of whether the
decision model is consistent with how the
manager’s performance is judged.

Decisions and
Performance Evaluation
Top management faces a challenge – that is,
making sure that the performance-evaluation
model of subordinate managers is consistent
with the decision model.
