Chapter 17, Problem 18E

A company is considering a special order for 1,000 units to be priced at $8.90 (the normal price would be $11.50). The order would require specialized materials costing $4.00 per unit. Direct labor and variable factory overhead would cost $2.15 per unit. Fixed factory overhead is $1.20 per unit. However, the company has excess capacity, and acceptance of the order would not raise total fixed factory overhead. The warehouse, however, would have to add capacity costing $1,300. Which of the following is relevant to the special order?

1. a. $11.50
2. b. $1.20
3. c. $7.35
4. d. $8.90
