Gloucester Ltd. manufactures specialized valves. For the first six months of 2015 the company reported the following operating results.

Amount

Per unit

Sales

$4,000,000

$50.00

Cost of goods sold

3,200,000

40.00

Selling and administrative expenses

    320,000

4.00

Net income

  $480,000

$6.00

Fixed costs included in cost of goods sold in the period were $800,000; fixed costs included in selling and administrative expenses were $60,000.

Gloucester recently received a special order from an overseas industrial customer, Brewery Supply Industries (BIS), for 9,000 brewery valves at a price of $36.50 each. Accepting the order would increase variable selling and administrative expenses by $0.75 per unit because of additional shipping costs, but it would not increase fixed costs or any other unit variable costs.

Assume that Gloucester currently has just sufficient excess capacity to fill this one-time order which will take 6 months to fill.

Ignore income taxes.

Required

A. Ms Keating, VP Sales, is still unsure about the wisdom of accepting the BIS order. She has asked you to prepare a full report dealing with all the relevant issues and make a recommendation to her as to whether Gloucester Ltd. Should accept this order. Justify your conclusion, citing all relevant factors, quantitative and qualitative
