Bon Jovi Company manufactures 10,000 units of wheel sets for use in its annual production. Costs are as follows: direct materials are $20,000; direct labor is $55,000; variable overhead is $45,000; and fixed overhead is $70,000. Bowie Company has offered to sell Bon Jovi 10,000 units of wheel sets for $17 per unit. If RSW accepts the offer, some of the facilities presently used to manufacture wheel sets could be rented to a third party at an annual rental of $20,000. Additionally, $4 per unit of the fixed overhead applied to wheel sets would be totally eliminated.
Requirements: Prepare an incremental analysis schedule to demonstrate if Bon Jovi should accept Bowie's offer.
