The teacher has offered to buy 1,600 copies of the CD at a price of $5.00 each. MSI could easily modify one of its existing education programs about U.S. history to accommodate the request. The modifications would cost approximately $430. A summary of the information related to production of MSI's current history program follows: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Total cost per unit Sales price per unit $ 1.18 0.39 2.14 2.00 $ 5.71 $ 13.00 Required: 1. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order. 2. Should MSI accept the special order? 3. Suppose the special order had been to purchase 1,600 copies of the program for $1.50 each. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order under this scenario. 4. Suppose MSI is operating at full capacity. To accept the special order, it would have to reduce production of the history program. Compute the special order price at which MSI would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order.
