58-5 Special order decision (Learning Objective 3)
Shilling Manufacturing produces and sells oil filters for $3.25 each. A retailer has offered
to purchase 20,000 oil filters for $1.55 per filter. Of the total manufacturing cost per filter
of $2.10, $1.30 is the variable manufacturing cost per filter. For this special order, Shilling
would have to buy a special stamping machine that costs $8,000 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 other-
wise 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 Shilling accept the special order under these conditions?
Imagine you are taking 3 classes (Economics, English and Wellness) this semester and want to calculate your total
