Question
Delta Company produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's
normal activity level of 84,000 units per year is:
Direct materials
Direct labor
Variable manufacturing overhead.
Fixed manufacturing overhead
Variable selling and administrative expense
Fixed selling and administrative expense
$ 2.50
$ 2.00
$ 0.80
$ 4.45
$ 1.20
$ 1.00
The normal selling price is $23.00 per unit. The company's capacity is 109,200 units per year. An order has been received
from a mail-order house for 2,100 units at a special price of $20.00 per unit. This order would not affect regular sales or the
company's total fixed costs.
Required:
1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order?
2. As a separate matter from the special order, assume the company's inventory includes 1,000 units of this product that were
produced last year and that are inferior to the current model. The units must be sold through regular channels at reduced
prices. The company does not expect the selling of these inferior units to have any affect on the sales of its current model.
What unit cost is relevant for establishing a minimum selling price for the inferior units?
