- Problem 2 Friendly Company produces a single product. Recently, the company received a special order from a large national public corporation that wants to purchase 900 units of the company's product at $110 each. Friendly Company's usual individual orders are no more than 25 units. So, this proposed 900- unit order is much larger than their usual order. The order will not affect the selling price to regular customers. Friendly Company's income statement for the past month is as follows: Sales (1,200 units) Cost of goods sold Gross profit Selling and administrative expenses $144,000 - 108,000 $ 36,000 10,000 $ 26,000 Net income There was no beginning or ending inventories of work-in-process or finished goods.
