Question

The following information relates to current production of bench seats for boats at Aquamarine Manufacturing:

Answer 1

Answer:

The operating income would be affected with a los off $716,000 besides the $95,000 that the company losses operating with the regular order.

Explanation:

Ok with the information provided lets set up the equations (we are going to separate the equations by regular order and especial order):

Regular order:

CT = 775,000 + 132X  (Total cost)

TR= 200X (Total Revenue)

OI = 68X - 775,000 (Operating Income)

Especial order:

CT = 785,000 + 117X  (Total cost)

TR = 140X (Total Revenue)

OI = 23X - 785,000 (Operating Income)

Now lets see how the operating income is with the production and selling of 10,000 bench seats:

OI = 68(10,000) - 775,000 = -95,000

This company operates at a loss of $95,000, now lets see how would operating income be affected by the especial order of 3,000 bench seats:

OI = 23(3,000) - 785,000 = -716,000

Another loss, so the operating income would be affected with a los off $716,000 besides the $95,000 that the company losses operating with the regular order.
