Economics Question
Alton Inc. is working at full production capacity producing 25,000 units of a unique product. Manufacturing costs per unit for the product are as follows: Direct materials $ 6 Direct labor 5 Manufacturing overhead 7 Total manufacturing cost per unit $18 The per-unit manufacturing overhead cost is based on a $4 variable cost per unit and $75,000 fixed costs. The nonmanufacturing costs, all variable, are $6 per unit, and the sales price is $31 per unit. Sports Headquarters Company (SHC) has asked Alton to produce 6,000 units of a modification of the new product. This modification would require the same manufacturing processes. However, because of the nature of the proposed sale, the estimated nonmanufacturing costs per unit are only $3 (not $6). Alton would sell the modified product to SHC for $21 per unit. Required 1-a. Calculate the contribution margin for 6,000 units for both the current and special order. 1-b. Should Alton produce the special order for SHC? 2. Suppose that Alton Inc.…
