Mcniff Corporation makes a range of products. The company's predetermined overhead rate is $28 per direct labor-hour, which was calculated using the following budgeted data:

Variable manufacturing overhead: $72,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead: $432,000
Direct labor-hours 18,000

Management is considering a special order for 820 units of product O96S at $76 each. The normal selling price of product O96S is $87 and the unit product O96S is $77 and the unit product cost is determined as follows:

Direct materials $39.00
Direct labor 16.00
Manufacturing overhead applied 18.00
Unit product cost $73.00

If the special order were accepted, normal sales of this and other products would not be affected. The company has ample excess capacity to produce the additional units. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost, variable manufacturing overhead is really driven by direct labor-hours, and total fixed manufacturing overhead would not be affected by the special order.

Answer:

A  financial advantage of $31,940 will result from accepting this special order.

Explanation:

Consider the Incremental Costs and Revenues arising from the acceptance of the special order.

Note : The Company has excess capacity to produce the additional units therefor the fixed overheads are irrelevant for this decision.

Incremental Costs and Revenues

Sales (820 units×$76)                                                                     62,320

Direct materials (820 units×$39.00 )                                             (31,980)

Direct labor (820 units×16.00)                                                        (13,120)

Variable manufacturing overhead($72,000/18,000×820 units)  (3,280)

Incremental Income/ Loss                                                               31,940

Therefore, a  financial advantage of $31,940 will result from accepting this special order.

The financial advantage which would be gotten by the company as a result of accepting the special order would be $13940

Unit = 820

Cost per unit = $76

Revenue from Sale :

  • (820 units×$76) = $62,320

Direct materials cost :

  • 820 × $39 = $31,980

Direct labor Cost :

  • (820 × $16) = $13120

Variable manufacturing overhead :

  • (Variable man. overhead / man. overhead applied) × number of units

  • $(72000/18,000) ×820 units = 3280

Financial advantage / disadvantage :

  • $62320 - $(31980 + 13120 + 3280) = $13940

Hence, the value is positive, hence, the financial advantage is $13940.
