Transcribed Image Text:B. Wallace Company manufactures a variety of valves and fittings used in industrial
plumbing that are sold to customers in other Canadian provinces. Currently, the
company is operating at about 70 percent capacity, and is quite profitable. Tudor
Industries, located in Wales, has approached management to purchase 120,000 units of

management, and Tudor will cover all shipping costs. Currently, the pressure valves are
sold for $30 to its other customers. Production management believes that it can handle
the Tudor order without disrupting its current scheduled production. The order, however,
will require an additional fixed overhead cost of $48,000 for supervision and clerical
costs.
