The company believes it has the capacity to produce 2,000 more sandwiches than it produces currently. A prospective client has approached ABC with a one-time special order for 5,000 sandwiches, offering the company $8 per sandwich. The special order would not have any adverse effects on the company’s long-term profits. Should ABC accept this special order? Select one: a. Yes, as it would increase profits by $4,000. b. Yes, as it would increase profits by $10,000. c. No, as it would decrease profits by $2,000. d. No, as it would decrease profits by $3,000. Your answer is incorrect. Explanation: The company can produce 2,000 more sandwiches than it does currently. Therefore, accepting the special order would result in an opportunity cost of $12,000 (3,000 sandwiches × ($10 − $6)) for the 3,000 regular-priced sandwiches it could have produced without the special order. However, the company would gain a contribution margin of $10,000 (5,000 sandwiches × ($8 − $6)) for the special order. Since the opportunity cost is $2,000 greater than the contribution margin gained, the order should not be accepted. The correct answer is: No, as it would decrease profits by $2,000.
