How much will operating profits increase if Klear accepts the special order? b. Assume that Klear is operating at full capacity.

Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
a. going by the special order, profits increase by 512500
b. At full capacity, Parker will have to charge even the fixed costs since it will have to reduce normal sales, therefore by the order it is expected to receive only 25 per unit for which it at present receives 30 per unit for 50000 units. Profit decreases by 50000x5 = 250000.
