Required information
Dwight Furniture makes desks specially designed for small spaces, such as studio apartments and extended-stay hotels.
Each desk sells for $110 (without chair). The cost of each desk follows:
Materials
Labor
Variable overhead
Fixed overhead ($208,000 per month, 13,000 units per month)
Total costs per unit
The local university is building a new dorm and asked Dwight for a special price of $90 for an order of 900 desks.
Dwight's can fill the order using existing capacity without affecting total fixed costs for the month. However, because the
sale would be to a state agency, Dwight would have to file specified compliance documents with the state purchasing
office. Dwight's manager estimates that the time and expenses incurred by this filing will amount to $7,200 and is
independent of the number of desks ordered. Dwight's manager is unsure whether to accept this order and wants your
advice.
