Fixed unattributable costs are not relevant for decision-making as they will be incurred regardless of the decision.Short term decisions are made according to the highest per unit contribution of limited resources.
For example,if there is a dearth of raw material and a company produces products A,B and C,all of which use the raw material,the company's short term decision about which product to produce and in what quantities depends on the product that has the highest contribution per kg.
