A new retail store has offered to buy 14,400 of its skateboards for
$64 per unit. The store is in a different market from Calla's
regular customers and would not affect regular sales. A study of
its costs in anticipation of this additional business reveals the
following:
Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable.
40 percent of overhead is fixed at any production level from 80,600 units to 95,000 units; the remaining 60% of annual overhead costs are variable with respect to volume.
Selling expenses are 60% variable with respect to number of units sold, and the other 40% of selling expenses are fixed.
There will be an additional $1.60 per unit selling expense for this order.
Administrative expenses would increase by a $910 fixed amount.
Required:
1. Prepare a three-column comparative income statement that reports
the following:
a. Annual income without the special order.
b. Annual income from the special order.
c. Combined annual income from normal business and the new
business.
2. Should Calla accept this order?
