Damato has the practical capacity to produce 15,000 Holiday Panettone (an Italian sweet bread). Based upon practical capacity, the company's average cost = $35.00. Fixed expenses represent 40.0% of the average cost. Currently, Damato sells 13,000 Panettone at a price of $28.00 each. Gustiamo's Italian Bakery requests an order of 5,000 Panettone at a special price = $24.00. The 15.0% sales commission paid on the current sales will be eliminated on the special order. Special packaging will increase direct material costs by $2.00 per Panettone. Gustiamo's is a very large seller of Panettone and Damato would buy a packaging machine for $20,000. The packaging machine would only be required for Gustiamo's special order. Compute the change in Damato's income due to the special order. O Income will INCREASE $1,200 O Income will INCREASE $6,000 O Income will DECREASE $15,000 O Income will DECREASE $24,000 O None of the other answers are correct
This year, Hassell Company will ship 4,000,000 pounds of chocolates to customers with total order-filling costs of 900,000. There are two types of customers: those who order 50,000 pound lots (small customers) and those who order 250,000 pound lots (large customers). Each customer category is responsible for buying 1,500,000 pounds. The selling price per pound is 2 per lb for the 50,000 pound lot and 3 per lb for the larger lots, due to differences in the type of chocolate. ABC would likely assign order-filling costs to the customer type as follows: a. 450,000, small; 450,000, large (using pounds as the driver) b. 360,000, small; 540,000, large (using revenue as the driver) c. 750,000, small; 150,000, large (using number of orders as the driver) d. 450,000, small; 450,000, large (using customer type as the driver)

JCBilco Manufacturing produces and sells oil filters for $3.30 each. A retailer has offered to purchase 25,000 oil filters for $1.36 per filter. Of the total manufacturing cost per filter of $2.15, $1.35 is the variable manufacturing cost per filter. For this special order, JCBilco would have to buy a special stamping machine that costs $8,500 to mark the customer's logo on the special-order oil filters. The machine would be scrapped when the special order is complete. This special order would use manufacturing capacity that would otherwise be idle. No variable nonmanufacturing costs would be incurred by the special order. Regular sales would not be affected by the special order. Would you recommend that JCBilco accept the special order under these conditions?
