Chapter 13, Problem 22P
PROBLEM 12-22 Special Order Decisions LO12-4
Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 30,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below:
The Rets normally sell for $50 each. Fixed manufacturing
Required:
- Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 25,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain has offered to purchase 5,000 Rets if Polaski is willing to accept a 16% discount off the regular price. There would be no sales commissions on this order: thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75%. However, Polaski Company would have to purchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain’s name on the 5,000 units. This machine would cost $10,000. Polaski Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units in the future. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order?
- Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 25,000 Rets through regular channels next year. The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 5,000 Rets. The Army would pay a fixed fee of SI.80 per Ret and it would reimburse Polaski Company for all costs of production (variable and fixed) associated with the units. Because the army would pick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army’s special order?
- Assume the same situation as described in (2) above, except that the company expects to sell 30,000 Rets through regular channels next year. Thus, accepting the U.S. Army’s order would require giving up regular sales of 5,000 Rets. Given this new information, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army’s special order?

Question 6
Amundsen Company makes 60,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The unit product cost of
this part is computed as follows:
Direct Materials
Direct Labor
Variable Manufacturing Overhead
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead
Variable Selling
Fixed Selling
Total
$ 10.10
$17.40
$ 2.70
$15.00
$ 2.75
$ 3.25
$51.20
An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities
now being used to make the part would be idle and fixed manufacturing overhead would be reduced by 80% of current cost.
The variable selling costs would be reduced to 40% of current cost.
Required:
What is the maximum amount the company should be willing to pay an outside supplier per unit for the part?

Division P of the Nyers Company makes a part that can either be sold to outside customers or transferred internally to Division Q for
further processing. Annual data relating to this part are as follows:
Annual production capacity

units
Selling price of the item to outside customers
$35
Variable cost per unit
$23
Fixed cost per unit
$5
Division Q of the Nyers Company requires 15,000 units per year and is currently paying an outside supplier $33 per unit. If outside
customers demand only 50,000 units per year, then what is the lowest acceptable transfer price from the viewpoint of the selling
division?
A. $35
В. $33
C. $28
D. $23
E. None of the above
Question 10.4
Wild Oats Company makes 30,000 units per year of a part that it uses in the products it manufactures. The unit product cost of this part is computed as follows:
Direct Materials
Direct Labour
$24.00
Variable Manufacturing Overhead
$13.00
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead
$4.00
Unit Product Cost
$12.20
$53.20
An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all the parts that Wild Oats needs for $50.00 a unit. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin on this other product would be $45,000 per year. If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all of the direct labour cost of the part would be avoided. However, $5.60 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost that is…
