Special Order
Total cost data follow for Glendale Manufacturing Company, which
has a normal capacity per period of 8,000 units of product that
sell for $60 each. For the foreseeable future, regular sales volume
should continue to equal normal capacity.
| Direct material | $101,600 | |||
| Direct labor | 63,200 | |||
| Variable manufacturing overhead | 47,600 | |||
| Fixed manufacturing overhead (Note 1) | 38,400 | |||
| Selling expense (Note 2) | 35,200 | |||
| Administrative expense (fixed) | 15,000 | |||
| $301,000 | 
Notes:
1. Beyond normal capacity, fixed overhead costs increase $1,800 for
each 500 units or fraction thereof until a maximum capacity of
10,000 units is reached.
2. Selling expenses consist of a 6% sales commission and shipping
costs of 80 cents per unit. Glendale pays only three-fourths of the
regular sales commission on sales totaling 501 to 1,000 units and
only two-thirds the regular commission on sales totaling 1,000
units or more.
