Elfalan Corporation produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's normal activity level of 47,000 units per month is as follows:Per UnitDirect materials $ 46.10Direct labor $ 8.80Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.80Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 18.70Variable selling & administrative expense $ 3.20Fixed selling & administrative expense $ 15.00The normal selling price of the product is $100.10 per unit.An order has been received from an overseas customer for 2,700 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $1.90 less per unit on this order than on normal sales.Direct labor is a variable cost in this company.Suppose there is ample idle capacity to produce the units required by the overseas customer and the special discounted price on the special order is $83.40 per unit. The monthly financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be:A. $18,090B. ($27,540)C. $68,580D. ($43,000)

Answer 1

Answer:

Effect on income= $68,580 increase

Explanation:

Because it is a special order, and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs. Only the variable ones.

First, we need to calculate the unitary cost:

Unitary cost= 46.1 + 8.8 + 1.8 + 1.3

Unitary cost= $58

Now, the effect on the income of accepting the offer:

Effect on income= 2,700*(83.4 - 58)

Effect on income= $68,580 increase
