Relevant:

$5,500

$1,650

$7,700

Explanation:

The only data irrelevant is the first production cost. The $4,400 is not relevant because it is a sunk cost. It will remain constant in both choices. The other costs and income are relevant because they vary on each decision. The $4,400 should not be a part of the decision making process.
