Financial advantage (disadvantage): Financial advantage (disadvantage) refers to the incremental profit or loss, a company will earn in situations like acceptance of a special order, dropping of a business line, etc.

Financial advantage refers to incremental net operating income and financial disadvantage refers to incremental net operating loss.
To calculate:
Financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the new customer’s order for Beta

Answer to Problem 4F15
Solution:
The financial disadvantage of accepting the new customer’s order for Beta is $ 5,000.
Explanation of Solution
The incremental net operating profit (loss) is the difference between incremental revenues and costs.
Beta - Incremental Net operating profit (Loss) (in $) | ||
Incremental Revenue ( $ 39/ unit X 5,000 additional units) | 195,000 | |
Less: | ||
Incremental costs - | ||
Direct material ( $ 12/ units X 5,000 additional units) | 60,000 | |
Direct labor ( $ 15/ unit X 5,000 additional units) | 75,000 | |
Variable manufacturing |
25,000 | |
Variable selling expenses ( $8/ unit X 5,000 additional units) | 40,000 | |
Total incremental costs | 200,000 | |
Beta-Incremental net operating income (loss) | (5,000) |
Given, the information for the product Beta −
- Additional sales units = 5,000 units
- Selling price per unit = $ 39 per unit
- Direct Material per unit = $ 12 per unit
- Direct Labor per unit = $ 15 per unit
- Variable manufacturing overhead per unit = $ 5 per unit
- Variable selling expenses per unit = $ 8 per unit
Calculations:
- Incremental revenue
- Incremental costs
- Incremental Net operating income (Loss)
Thus, the financial disadvantage of accepting the new customer’s order for Beta = $ 5,000.
