Question

Samson Designers produces a lady’s handbag that normally sells for $120. The company produces 800 units annually but has the capacity to produce 1,100 units. An order from a customer has been received for 200 handbags at $85 each that would not disrupt current operations. Current costs for the handbag are as follows:

Direct materials                                        $23.00

Direct labor                                                 45.00

Variable overhead                                         7.00

Fixed overhead                                           12.00

Total                                                          $87.00

In addition, the customer would like to add a monogram to each bag which would require an additional $4 per bag in additional labor costs. Samson would also have to purchase a piece of equipment to create the monogram which would cost $800. This equipment would not have any other uses. Which statement is true with regard to this situation?

  1. Incremental revenues will exceed incremental costs by $400.
  2. Incremental revenues will exceed incremental costs by $1,200.
  3. Incremental costs will exceed incremental revenues by $1,200.
  4. Incremental costs will exceed incremental revenues by $2,000.
