Answer:
Effect on income= $62,510 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Offer= 9,300 units of product K19 for $46.80 each.
Direct materials $ 17.60
Direct labor $6.90
Variable manufacturing overhead $4.10
The customer would like some modifications made to product K19 that would increase the variable costs by $6.50 per unit and that would require a one-time investment of $46,300 in special molds that would have no salvage value.
<u>Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will take into account only the incremental fixed costs.</u>
<u></u>
First, we need to calculate the total cost of the offer:
Unitary variable cost= 17.6 + 6.9 + 4.1 + 6.5= $35.1
Total variable cost= 35.1*9,300= $326,430
Total fixed costs= 46,300
Total cost= $372,730
Finally, we can determine the effect on income:
Effect on income= 9,300*46.8 - 372,730
Effect on income= $62,510 increase
