Question

Cincinnati t-shirts prints custom t-shirts. The cost to produce one shirt is: direct materials, $10; direct labor, $1.20; and manufacturing overhead $4.50. Cincinnati Children’s Hospital asked Cincinnati t-shirt to sell them custom t-shirts for $12 each for a local charity event. Direct material and direct labor are required for each t-shirt. Of the manufacturing overhead, $1.50 is variable and would be incurred on each additional unit. The remaining $3 in overhead is allocated fixed overhead that would not be increased or decreased by this order. What would be the effect on net income if they accept this special order and sell 200 shirts to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for $12 each?

Answer 1

Answer:

Effect on income= $140 decrease

Explanation:

Giving the following formula:

Production costs:

Direct material= 10

Direct labor= 1.2

Variable overhead= $1.5

Selling price= $12

Number of units= 200

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

Effect on income= Units sold*unitary contribution margin

Effect on income= 200*(12 - 10 - 1.2 - 1.5)

Effect on income= $140 decrease
