Question
![The Melrose Corporation produces a single product, Product C. Melrose has the
capacity to produce 70,000 units of Product C each year. If Melrose produces at
capacity, the per unit costs to produce and sell one unit of Product C are as follows:
Direct materials.
Direct labor...
Variable manufacturing overhead.
Fixed manufacturing overhead.
Variable selling expense.
Fixed selling expense..
$20
$17
$13
$14
$12
$8
The regular selling price of one unit of Product C is $100. A special order has been
received by Melrose from Moore Corporation to purchase 7,000 units of Product C
during the upcoming year. If this special order is accepted, the variable selling
expense will be reduced by 75%. Total fixed manufacturing overhead and fixed selling
expenses would be unaffected except that Melrose will need to purchase a specialized
machine to engrave the Moore name on each unit of product C in the special order.
The machine will cost $10,500 and will have no use after the special order is filled.
Assume that direct labor is a variable cost.
