ABC COMPANY -
CAPACITY TO PRODUCE - 15,000 LAMP EACH MONTH
CURRENT PRODUCTION AND SALES = 12,000 LAMPS @ SALES PRICE OF $16 EACH
COST OF EACH LAMP IS
DIRECT MATERIAL = $5
DIRECT LABOUR - $ 3
VARIABLE OVERHEAD - $1
FIXED OVERHEAD - $1.25
VARIABLE SELLING COST - $ 0.2
FIXED SELLING COST - $.75
COMPANY RECEIVED A SPECIAL ORDER
PRODUCTION AND SALES REQUIRED = 6000 LAMPS @ REDUCED PRICE $13
AND NO SELLING COST IN CONNECT WITH THIS ORDER
-
COMPANY PRESENT TOTAL PROFIT -
NET PROFIT= SALES REVENUE - VARIABLE MANUFACTURING COST - FIXED MANUFACTURING COST - VARIABLE SELLING COST - FIXED SELLING COST
= $192,000 - $108,000 - $15,000 - $2400 - $9000 ( WORKING NOTES 1)
= $57,600
WORKING NOTES 1
SALES REVENUE = 12,000 * $16 = $192,000
VARIABLE MANUFACTURING COST = 12,000 * 9 (5+3+1) = $108,000
FIXED MANUFACTURING COST = 12,000 * $1.25 = $15,000
VARIABLE SELLING COST = 12,000 * $0.2 = $2400
FIXED SELLING COST = 12,000 * $.75 = $9000
COMPANY TOTAL PROFIT IF ACCEPT SPECIAL ORDER -
NET PROFIT= SALES REVENUE - VARIABLE MANUFACTURING COST - FIXED MANUFACTURING COST - VARIABLE SELLING COST - FIXED SELLING COST
= $222,000 - $135,000 - $15,000 -$1800 - $9000 ( WORKING NOTES 2 )
=$ 61,200
WORKING NOTES 2 -
SALES REVENUE =(9,000 * $16 ) + (6000 * 13 ) = $222,000
VARIABLE MANUFACTURING COST = 15000 * 9 ( 5+3+1) = $135,000
FIXED MANUFACTRING COST = $15,000
VARIABLE SEELING COST = 9000 *$0.2 = $1800
FIXED SELLING COST =$9000
SO THE ANSWER IS-
INCREASE IN PROFIT = $61,200 - $57,600
= $3600
