Question

Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like modifications made to product S47 that would increase the variable costs by $2.00 per unit and that would require an investment of $15,000.00 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be:

Answer 1

Answer:

$5,370

Explanation:

Missing word: "A customer has requested that Lewelling Corporation fill a special order for 2,100 units of product S47 for $26 a unit. While the product would be modified slightly for the special order, product S47's normal unit product cost is $19.20:

Direct materials $5.70, Direct labor 3.00, Variable manufacturing overhead 2.80, Fixed manufacturing overhead 7.70, Unit product cost $19.20"

Incremental analysis

Incremental revenue (2100*26)                                   $54,600

Incremental cost

Direct material (2100*$5.7)                       $11,970

Direct labor (2,100*$3)                              $6,300

Variable manuf. overhead (2,100*$80)    $5,880  

Additional cost (2100*$2.00)                    $4,200

Special molds                                            $15,000

Total incremental cost                                                  $49,230

Incremental profit (loss)                                              $5,370

The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be $5,370.
