Explanation:

Answer:
a. Accept the order
b. Increase in short-term profit of $50,000
Explanation:
<em>Note : Blowing Sand has "enough excess capacity" this means that fixed cost will be the same in the range or they will be ocurred whether or not the special order is accepted.</em>

Answer:
$46,000.
Explanation:
To know the retained earnings at the end of 2015, we first need to calculate how much dividend the company will pay to its shareholders then add up the net income in 2015 to the remaining of retained earning at the end of 2014 (after paying 2014's dividend at Mar 2015) to get retained earnings at the end of 2015.
Total dividend in on Mar 2015 = 0.7 x 100,000 = 70,000
Retained Earning at the end of 2015 = 94,000 - 70,000 + 22,000 = 46,000.
