Based on Relay's predictions, 240,000 batons will be sold at the regular price of $5.00 each. In addition, a special order was placed for 60,000 batons to be sold at a 40% discount off the regular price. Required: By what amount would income before income taxes be increased or decreased as a result of the special order

Answer 1

Answer:

The total rise in income is $30,000

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Sale price     3     {5 × (1 - 0.40)

Less: Incremental cost  2.5   ($750,000 ÷ 300,000)

Increase in income per unit   0.50

Divide by Total units    60,000

Total increase in income   $30,000

Hence, the total rise in income is $30,000 and the same is to be considered
