Steel City Company (SCC) paid $120,000 to purchase land that it planned to use as a future building site. A short time later the Company was approached with an opportunity to purchase a better property. The new property cost $125,000. After considering the alternative SCC decided to reject the offer because the Company would be required to sell the original site for $119,000 thereby incurring a $1,000 loss on the disposal of the land ($120,000 - $119,000). Based on this information

a. the $1,000 loss is relevant to the decision.

b. the $119,00 current market value of original site is relevant to the decision.

c. the $125,000 cost of the replacement property is not relevant to the decision.

d. the $5,000 difference between the cost of the two properties ($125,000 - $120,000) is relevant to the decision.

    B) the $119,00 current market value of original site is relevant to the decision.

    Explanation:

    Relevant information is information that affects present or future conditions and differ among the alternatives.

    The $1,000 loss is based on a sunk costs, and sunk costs are not relevant in the decision making process. The $5,000 difference is also based on sunk costs and therefore is not relevant either.

    The only two costs relevant to this decision are the current market value of the property ($119,000) and the value of the second property, $125,000.
