Answer:

c. $5,890

Explanation:

Data provided

Quantity of material purchased to be used in job = 1,000

Current market price = $5.89 per litre

The computation of relevant cost is shown below:-

Relevant cost of material F04E = Quantity of material purchased to be used in job × Current market price

= 1,000 × $5.89 per liter

= $5,890

Therefore for computing the relevant cost of material F04E we simply multiply the Quantity of material purchased to be used in job with Current market price.
