16 Using relevant costs to arrive at a price The principles of relevant costing were met in paper F2. Here relevant costs are used to arrive at a minimum tender price for a one-off tender.The use of relevant costs is only suitable for a one-off decision since:
§ Fixed costs may become relevant in the long run
§ There are problems estimating incremental cash flows
§ There is a conflict between accounting measures such as profit and this approach.
