acity of 300,000 units per year, it is currently producing at an annual rate of 180,000 units. SafeRide, Inc. has received an order from a German manufacturer to purchase 60,000 units at $9.00 each. Budgeted costs for 180,000 and 240,000 units are as follows: 180,000 Units 240,000 UnitsManufacturing costs Direct materials $450,000 $600,000Direct labor 315,000 420,000Factory overhead 1,215,000 1,260,000Total 1,980,000 2,280,000Selling and administrative 765,000 780,000Total $2,745,000 $3,060,000Costs per unit Manufacturing $11.00 $9.50Selling and administrative 4.25 3.25Total $15.25 $12.75Sales to North American manufacturers are priced at $20 per unit, but the sales manager believes the company should aggressively seek the German business even if it results in a loss of $3.75 per unit.

Answer:

SafeRide, Inc.

a. The financial implications of accepting the order are that total production cost will increase by $315,000 with a corresponding increase in sales revenue of $540,000, and an increase in net income by $225,000.

b. Under full capacity, the total production cost will increase by $1,485,000 for adding additional facilities while the sales revenue would increase by $540,000, resulting to a loss of $945,000.

c. Under full-capacity circumstances, there is a financing disadvantage of accepting the order because the order will entail additional capacity and facilities, resulting to a loss of $945,000.

Explanation:

Annual production capacity = 300,000 units

Current production capacity = 180,000 units

Special order from a German manufacturer = 60,000 units

Special order price per unit = $9.00

Budgeted Costs For      180,000 Units  240,000 Units  Difference 60,000

Manufacturing costs

Direct materials                 $450,000           $600,000       $150,000

Direct labor                           315,000             420,000          105,000

Factory overhead              1,215,000           1,260,000           45,000

Total                                  1,980,000          2,280,000       $300,000

Selling and administrative 765,000              780,000            15,000

Total                              $2,745,000        $3,060,000        $315,000

Costs per unit

Manufacturing                       $11.00                  $9.50

Selling and administrative       4.25                     3.25

Total                                     $15.25                  $12.75

Selling price to North American manufacturers = $20 per unit

Financial implications of accepting the order:

Manufacturing costs

Direct materials                  $150,000

Direct labor                           105,000

Factory overhead                  45,000

Total                                  $300,000

Selling and administrative    15,000

Total                                  $315,000

Total cost per unit = $5.25 ($315,000/60,000)

Total manufacturing cost per unit = $5 ($300,000/60,000)

Increase in net income from accepting the order = $225,000 ($9.00 - $5.25) * 60,000

Manufacturing costs

Direct materials                  $150,000 (variable)

Direct labor                           105,000 (variable)

Factory overhead              1,215,000

Total                                $1,470,000

Selling and administrative    15,000 (assumed to be variable)

Total                               $1,485,000

Unit cost per additional unit = $24.75
