Answer:
Missing word <em>"What would the total opportunity cost be if by accepting the special order the company lost sales of 6,500 units to its regular customers? Assume the above facts plus a normal selling price of $24 per unit."</em>
<em />
Variable factory overhead per unit = (430,500 - 328,000) / 20,500 = $5
Direct materials per unit = $123,000 / 41,000 = $3
Direct labor per unit = 164,000 / 41,000 = $4
1. Relevant cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable factory overhead
Relevant cost per unit = $5 + $4 + $3
Relevant cost per unit = $12
So, the bid price should be above $10 per unit
2. Total opportunity cost would be the total contribution margin lost for the lost sales to the regular customer
Total opportunity cost = Loss of regular sales revenue - Total relevant cost for lost sales
Total opportunity cost = (6,500*$24) - (6,500*$12)
Total opportunity cost = $156,000 - $78,000
Total opportunity cost = $78,000
