Variable manufacturing overhead : 120*40% = $ 48
Fixed manufacturing : [120-48]*3000= 216000
Variable selling : 40*.60= $ 24
Fixed selling : [40-24]*3000 = 48000
Administrative expenses :variable = 20*10% = 2
Fixed Administrative expenses : [20-2]*3000= 54000
Total variable cost :80 direct material +40 direct labor +48+24+2= 194
Fixed cost : 318000
1)
sales [3200*550] | 1760000 |
less:Variable cost [194*3200] | (620800) |
contribution | 1139200 |
fixed cost | (318000) |
net income | 821200 |
2)
Fixed cost will be incurred whether offer is accpeted or not so it is irrelevant .Variable selling cost will not be incurred
Total variable costexcluding selling cost: 80+40+48+2 = $ 170
Profit will increase by : 500[300-170] = $ 65000
3)
Variable cost : 500*170 = $85000
Total sales : 85000+80000 = 165000
sales price minimum : 165000/500 = $ 330 per unit
4)
A)Increase in market share :whether the existing market share is affected or it will increase the market share/.
B)special order is repeatable or profitable in long run.
