Expert Solution

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
