Concept Introduction:
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.
It is calculated by only considering the relevant costs. The incremental revenues and incremental costs are taken together to calculate financial advantage or disadvantage. 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 Alpha

Answer to Problem 5F15
Solution:
The financial disadvantage of accepting the new customer’s order for Alpha is $ 145,000.
Explanation of Solution
The incremental net operating profit (loss) is the difference between incremental revenues and costs.
Alpha - Incremental Net operating profit (Loss) (in $) | ||
Incremental Revenue ( $ 80/ unit X 10,000 additional units) | 800,000 | |
Less: | ||
Incremental costs - | ||
Direct material ( $ 30/ units X 10,000 additional units) | 300,000 | |
Direct labor ( $ 20/ unit X 10,000 additional units) | 200,000 | |
Variable manufacturing |
70,000 | |
Variable selling expenses ( $ 12/ unit X 10,000 additional units) | 120,000 | |
Total incremental costs | (690,000) | |
Less: Foregone Sales revenue due to acceptance of order ( $ 120 per unit X 5,000 units ) | (600,000) | |
Add: Decrease in costs related to the sales forgone | 345,000 | |
Alpha - Incremental net operating income (Loss) | (145,000) |
Given, the information for the product Alpha −
- Additional sales units = 10,000 units
- Selling price per unit = $ 80 per unit
- Direct Material per unit = $ 30 per unit
- Direct Labor per unit = $ 20 per unit
- Variable manufacturing overhead per unit = $ 7 per unit
- Variable selling expenses per unit = $ 12 per unit
- Foregone number of units due to acceptance of offer = 5,000 units
- Sales price per unit for regular sales = $ 120 per unit
Calculations:
- Incremental revenue
- Incremental costs
- Foregone Sales revenue due to acceptance of offer
- Decrease in cost due to sales forgone −
- Incremental Net operating income (Loss)
Thus, the financial disadvantage of accepting the new customer’s order for Alpha = $ 145,000.
