A customer has requested that L Corporation fill a special order for 2,700 units of product R35 for $32 a unit. While the product would be modified slightly for the special order, product R35's normal unit product cost is $22.00: Direct materials $ 6.30 Direct labor 4.00 Variable manufacturing overhead 3.40 Fixed manufacturing overhead 8.30 Unit product cost $ 22.00 Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like modifications made to product R35 that would increase the variable costs by $1.90 per unit and that would require an investment of $17,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be:

Respuesta :

Answer:

Financial advantage 50,220

Explanation:

special order sales price 32

Unit Variable Cost

Direct materials      6.3

Direct Labor            4.0

Variable Overhead 3.4

Total Variable        13.4

[tex]Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin[/tex]

Contribution per unit 32 - 13.4 = 18.6

2,700 x $18.6 = 50,220

Special Order Cost     0

Increase in fixed cost   0

Income              50,220

If the order had special cost like shipping, commision or taxes it should be considered.

If the order goes beyond the normal capacity and generates additional fixed cost it should be considered.
