Your answer is partially correct. Blue Spruce Co. sells product P-14 at a price of $52 a unit. The per-unit cost data are direct materials $16, direct labour $10, and overhead $16 (75% variable). Blue Spruce has no excess capacity to accept a special order for 37,300 units, at a discount of 25% from the regular price. Selling costs associated with this order would be $4 per unit. Indicate the net income (loss) that Blue Spruce would realize by accepting the special order. (Enter loss with a negative sign preceding the number, e.g. -15,000 or parenthesis, e.g. (15,000).) Incremental income (loss) $ (111900) Blue Spruce Co. should not accept the special order.

The Compressor Division and the Fabrication Division of Plash Company, which exclusively produces one type of washing machine, respectively, are its two divisions. For the Fabrication Division, which completes the washing machine and sells it to retailers, the Compressor Division makes compressors. The Fabrication Division buys compressors from the Compressor Division. The Fabrication Division will spend $40.00 on a compressor, which is the market price. (Skip updates to the inventory.) It is expected that the fixed costs for the Compressor Division remain constant for orders between 5,000 and 10,000 units. The Fabrication Division's fixed expenses are estimated to be $7.50 per unit at 10,000 units. Compressor's costs per compressor are: Direct materials $15.00 Direct labor $7.25 Variable overhead $3.00 Division fixed costs $7.50 Fabrication's costs per completed air conditioner are: Direct materials $150.00 Direct labor $62.50 Variable overhead $20.00 Division fixed costs $7.50 Assume…

DK manufactures three products, W, X and Y. Each product uses the same materials and the same type of direct labour but in different quantities. The company currently uses a cost plus basis to determine the selling price of its products. This is based on full cost using an overhead absorption rate per direct labour hour. However, the managing director is concerned that the company may be losing sales because of its approach to setting prices. He thinks that a marginal costing approach may be more appropriate, particularly since the workforce is guaranteed a minimum weekly wage and has a three month notice period. Required: a) Given the managing director's concern about DK's approach to setting selling prices, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of marginal cost plus pricing AND total cost-plus pricing. The direct costs of the three products are shown below: Product Y Budgeted annual production (units) 15,000 24,000 20,000 $ per unit $ per unit $ per unit Direct materials 35 40 45…
