Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Additional set-up costs for the special order are relevant because they are directly associated with the production of the special order and would not be incurred if the order is not accepted. Existing fixed manufacturing overhead and non-manufacturing costs that do not change with the order are not relevant costs for pricing the special order.
