Current Attempt in Progress
The fastener division of Southern Fasteners manufactures zippers and then sells them to customers for $7.80 per unit. Its variable cost
is $2.97 per unit, and its fixed cost per unit is $1.55. Management would like the fastener division to transfer 11,200 of these zippers to
another division within the company at a price of $2.97. The fastener division could avoid $0.43 per zipper of variable packaging costs
by selling internally. Determine the minimum transfer price.

Changes in Fixed and Variable Costs; Break-Even and Target Profit Analysis
Neptune Company produces toys and other items for use in beach and resort areas. A small, inflatable toy has come onto the market that the company is anxious to produce and sell. The new toy will sell for $3 per unit. Enough capacity exists in the company’s plant to produce 16,000 units of the toy each month. Variable expenses to manufacture and sell one unit would be $1.25, and fixed expenses associated with the toy would total $35,000 per month.
The company’s Marketing Department predicts that demand for the new toy will exceed the 16,000 units that the company is able to produce. Additional manufacturing space can be rented from another company at a fixed expense of $1,000 per month. Variable expenses in the rented facility would total $1.40 per unit, due to somewhat less efficient operations than in the main plant.
Required:

Q3The Fresno Company manufactures slippers and sells them at $13 a pair. Variable manufacturing cost is $6.50 a pair, and allocated fixed manufacturing cost is $2.00 a pair. It has enough idle capacity available to accept a one-time-only special order of 5,000 pairs of slippers at $8.50 a pair. Fresno will not incur any marketing costs as a result of the special order. What is the amount of increase in operating income if the special order is accepted?
