Mcneilly Inc. is considering using stocks of an old raw material in a special project. The special project would require all 220 kilograms of the raw material that are in stock and that originally cost the company $1,804 in total. If the company were to buy new supplies of this raw material on the open market, it would cost $8.55 per kilogram. However, the company has no other use for this raw material and would sell it at the discounted price of $7.75 per kilogram if it were not used in the special project. The sale of the raw material would involve delivery to the purchaser at a total cost of $97.00 for all 220 kilograms. What is the relevant cost of the 220 kilograms of the raw material when deciding whether to proceed with the special project?
A) $1,705
B) $1,881
C) $1,804
D) $1,608
