The image I attached has all the information. My question is Should Barnes Boards agree to the special order? Why and Why not? taking into account all available information provided my the image I attached. Barnes Boards (BB) makes skateboards. BB was approached by "Keep Kids Skating," a regional nonprofit with the mission of fighting childhood obesity through skateboarding. KimSkatey, the President of Keep Kids Skating, offered to buy 350 longboards for $75 per board. BB normally sells its longboards directly to customers at $245 for each skateboard. Kimexplained that the nonprofit is growing quickly and they would like to build an inventory of skateboards that would enable them to provide boards for kids that cannot afford their ownskateboards. BB is operating at 80 percent of capacity. Also, BB has developed a relationship with Keep Kids Skating (For example, Keep Kids Skating has been allowed to advertise onBB's website free of charge) and believes that the charity's mission is aligned with it's own mission. Thus, the company would like to make the special order work.BB's controller looked into the cost of the longboards using the following information from the activity-based accounting system:TABLE 1: LONGBOARD COST INFORMATION FROM ABC SYSTEMActivity Rate**Activity DriverUnused CapacityQuantity Demanded*FixedVariableDirect Materials# of board sets350$82Direct LaborDirect labor hours52515SetupsSetup hours601$150$5PackagingPacking hours80020$10$5MachiningMachine hours6,000175$40$3*This represents only the amount of resources demanded by the special order being considered.**This is expected activity cost divided by activity capacityExpansion of activity capacity for setups, packaging, and machining must be done in steps. For setups, each step provides an additional 20 hours of setup activity and costs $3,000.For inspection, activity capacity is expanded by 2,000 hours per year, and the cost is $20,000 per year (the salary of the additional inspector). Machine capacity can be leased for a yearat a rate of $40 per machine hour. Machine capacity must be acquired, however, in steps of 1,500 machine hours.Required:1. Create a table (Table 1) showing the change in income for Barnes Boards if the order is accepted.2. In a note to the table, explain whether or not the order requires any change in capacity for setups, packaging, or machining.3. Create a table (Table 2) showing the change in income for Barnes Boards if the order is accepted, and assume the following:1. Keep Kids Skating is willing to pick up the order from Barnes Boards. Thus, the packaging activity can be eliminated for this order.2. $13 per unit related to packaging is included in direct materials.3. 0.5 hours per unit in direct labor is related to packaging.

The Tech Student Government Association (SGA) is selling t-shirts to create an "orange effect" for the football game (Tech's school color is orange). The club's financial goal is to make a profit of $150, 000, but in order to have a large number of fans buy the shirts and wear them, it doesn't want to price the t-shirts much more than $6. The SGA would like to sell approximately 45,000 orange t-shirts to achieve the desired orange effect, which it's relatively confident it can do. It will cost $100,000 to purchase, screen print and ship this many t-shirts. The SGA sells the shirts through 3 sources: online, two college bookstores, and a local independent bookstore. While the bookstores don't want a share in the profit, they do expect their direct costs to be covered, including labor, space and other costs. The two Tech bookstores charge the SGA $0.35 per shirt, and the local independent store charges $0.50 per shirt. The cost per sale online (including shipping, handling, and…

The Shirt Works sells a large variety of tee shirts and sweatshirts. Steve Hooper, the owner, is thinking of expanding his sales by hiring high school students, on a commission basis, to sell sweatshirts bearing the name and mascot of the local high school. These sweatshirts would have to be ordered from the manufacturer six weeks in advance, and they could not be returned because of the unique printing required. The sweatshirts would cost Hooper $21.00 each with a minimum order of 200 sweatshirts. Any additional sweatshirts would have to be ordered in increments of 50. Since Hooper’s plan would not require any additional facilities, the only costs associated with the project would be the costs of the sweatshirts and the costs of the sales commissions.
