Question

ardin Outfitters has a capacity to produce 16,500 of their special arctic tents per year. The company is currently producing and selling 5,000 tents per year at a selling price of $1,350 per tent. The cost of producing and selling one tent follows:

 

Variable manufacturing costs $ 530
Fixed manufacturing costs 135
Variable selling and administrative costs 125
Fixed selling and administrative costs 95
Total costs $ 885


The company has received a special order for 1,400 tents at a price of $690 per tent from Chipman Outdoor Center. It will not have to pay any sales commission on the special order, so the variable selling and administrative costs would be only $54 per tent. The special order would have no effect on total fixed costs. The company has rejected the offer based on the following computations:

 

Selling price per case $ 690
Variable manufacturing costs 530
Fixed manufacturing costs 135
Variable selling and administrative costs 54
Fixed selling and administrative costs 95
Net profit (loss) per case $ (124)

 

Required:

a. What is the impact on profit for the year if Nardin Outfitters accepts the special order?

b. Do you agree with the decision to reject the special order?
