Hence raw material will only cost Rs. 225 per ring. The remaining costs will be the same as specified above. The second order is received from Party B for 7500 rings at Rs. 750 per ring. These rings have a different design from the existing design of Givaa. The estimated cost of this ring is as follows: Particulars Amount Raw material 325 Direct labour (0.5 hr @ 600 per hour) 300 Overheads (0.5 machine hour @ Rs. 400) 200 In additional a one time designing set-up cost of Rs. 150,000 is needed to be paid for this order.

Givaa's manufacturing capabilities are limited to total machine hours available. The normal plant capacity is 90,000 machine hours per year. The overheads allocated (Rs. 400 per hour) comprise of both variable and fixed overheads in ratio 4:6 respectively. Givaa will have this entire quarter to work on the special order. Management does not expect any repeat sales from either of the two parties. Also, Givaa does not have a policy of subcontracting any portion of an order to ensure quality delivery. You have to recommend if either of the special order should be accepted. Justify your answer and show calculation. What are some of the non-financial aspects you may want to consider?
