HOMEWORK Question 1 Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order. Please solve and explain. MSI has been approached by a fourth-grade teacher from Portland about the possibility of creating a specially designed game that would be customized for her classroom and environment. The teacher would like an educational game to correspond to her classroom coverage of the history of the Pacific Northwest, and the state of Oregon in particular. MSI has not sold its products directly to teachers or school systems in the past, but its Marketing Department identified that possibility during a recent meeting. The teacher has offered to buy 1,000 copies of the CD at a price of $5 each. MSI could easily modify one of its existing educational programs about U.S. history to accommodate the request. The modifications would cost approximately $500. A summary of the information related to production of MSI’s current history program follows: Direct materials$1.50Direct labor0.60Variable manufacturing overhead2.25Fixed manufacturing overhead2.00Total cost per unit$6.35Sales price per unit$12.00
