Answer:
It is profitable to accept the special offer.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The shopping mall would like to purchase 200 extra-large white trees. Apex Company has the excess capacity to handle this special order. The shopping mall has offered to pay $120 for each tree.
Variable costs:
Direct materials $50.00
Direct labor (variable) $3.50
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.00
Additional variable cost= $6
This special order would require an investment of $10,000 for the molds required for the extra-large trees.
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not have into account the fixed costs (except the incremental fixed cost).
Unitary variable cost= 50 + 3.5 + 1 + 6= $60.5
Fixed costs= 10,000
Incremental income= (200*120) - (200*60.5) - 10,000= $1,900
It is profitable to accept the special offer.

Consumers in a grocery store are regularly bombarded with visual stimulation, from brightly colored packaging to flashy statements, none of which are indicators of a healthy food. But by simply turning the package around and looking at the food label, one can quickly compare and deduce the health value of food as the labels are uniform and easy to read. Allowing the consumer to select the food that best for them, rather than the simply the most appealing package.</span>
