b) Advise if the Company should accept the special order quantitatively.
Standard units produced - 20000 units
Raw material cost per unit - 40000/20000 = $ 2 per unit
Labour cost per unit - 80000/20000 = $ 4 per unit
Variable Manufacturing overhead per unit - 60000/20000 = $ 3 per unit
Variable Selling & Marketing overhead per unit - 16000/20000 = $ 0.8 per unit

Direct Material cost (8000 X $ 2) $ (16000)
Direct Labour cost (8000 X $ 4) $ (32000)
Variable Manufacturing overhead cost (8000 X $ 3) $ (24000)
