The Mighty Music Company produces and sells a desktop speaker for $100. The company has the capacity to produce 50,000 speakers each period. At capacity, the costs assigned to each unit are as follows: Unit level costs $ 45 Product level costs $ 15 Facility level costs $ 5 The company has received a special order for 500 speakers. If this order is accepted, the company will have to spend $15,000 on additional costs. Assuming that no sales to regular customers will be lost if the order is accepted, at what selling price will the company be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order

Answer 1

Answer:

$75

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what selling price will the company be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order

Using this formula

Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= ( Additional cost ÷ Units sold number) + Unit level Cost

Let plug in the formula

Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= ( $15,000 ÷ 500 ) + $45

Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= $30 + $45

Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= $75

Therefore The selling price that the company will be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order is $75
