Bert Asiago, as salesperson at Convertco, received an order from a potential new customer for 50,000 units of the company's single product. The price came in at $25 below the regular selling price of $65. Asiago knows that Convertco has the capacity to produce the product without affecting regular sales. He spoke to Bia Morgan, the controller, who informed him that at the $40 selling price, it's $42 of variable costs won't be covered. She recommends rejecting the order.

Why or why not? 4. What other factors should management consider?
Valmont Company has developed a new industrial piece of equipment called the XP-200. The company is considering two methods of establishing a selling price for the XP-200-absorption cost-plus pricing and value-based pricing. Valmont's cost accounting system reports an absorption unit product cost for XP-200 of $9,300. Its markup percentage on absorption cost is 85%. The company's marketing managers have expressed concerns about the use of absorption cost-plus pricing because it seems to overlook the fact that the XP-200 offers superior performance relative to the comparable piece of equipment sold by Valmont's primary competitor. More specifically, the XP-200 can be used for 18,000 hours before replacement. It only requires $1,900 of preventive maintenance during its useful life and it consumes $165 of electricity per 900 hours used. These figures compare favorably to the competing piece of equipment that sells for $18,000, needs to be replaced after 9,000 hours of use, requires $3,800…
