Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 32,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are as follows: Direct materials Direct labour Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead variable selling expense Fixed selling expense Total cost Unit $18.50 11.50 6.50 12.50 +4.00 6.00 $59.00 Maxamum discount Total $ 592,008 The Rets normally sell for $64 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is constant at $400,000 per year within the range of 20,000 through 32.000 Rets per year. % 369,008 208,038 430,000 128,000 192,008 $1,668,000 Required: 1. Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 20.000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain has offered to purchase 12,000 Rets if Polaski is willing to accept a price lower than the regular $64. There would be no sales commissions on this order, thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75% However, Polaski Company would have to purchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain's name on the 12.000 units. This machine would cost $24,000. Palaski Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units any time in the future Determine the maximum discount that Polaski can offer to this large retail chain in order for it to be no worse off compared to its current profit.
