K-Too Everwear Corporation can manufacture mountain climbing shoes for $32.00 per pair in variable raw material costs and $22.95 per pair in variable labor expense. The shoes sell for $136 per pair. Last year, production was 160,000 pairs. Fixed costs were $1,120,000. |

If the company is considering a one-time order for an extra 8,000 pairs, what is the minimum acceptable total revenue from the order? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) |
Total revenue | $ |
Solution:-
a) Calculation of total production cost
The total production cost can be calculated as follows:-
Total production cost= Total variable cost + Total fixed cost
=(Material cost PU+ Labor Cost PU)*units produced + Total fixed ost
=(32.00+22.95)*160,000+1,120,000
=8,792,000+1,120,000
=$9,912,000
Hence the total production cost = $9,912,000.
b) Marginal cost per pair:-
Marginal cost = Raw material cost per unit + Labor cost per unit
=32.00+22.95
=$54.95
c) Average cost per pair
= Total production cost/ No. of units produced
=$9,912,000/160,000
=$61.95
d) Minimum acceptable total revenue from one time order:-
The minimum acceptable total revenue is the marginal cost.
Hence,
Minimum acceptable revenue= Marginal cost *No of additional units
=$54.95*8000
=$439,600
