Lakeside Inc. produces a product that currently sells for $52.00
per unit. Current production costs per unit include direct
materials, $14; direct labor, $16; variable overhead, $7.00; and
fixed overhead, $7.00. Product engineering has determined that
certain production changes could refine the product quality and
functionality. These new production changes would increase material
and labor costs by 20% per unit. Lakeside has received an offer
from a nonprofit organization to buy 8,400 units at $38.40 per
unit. Lakeside currently has unused production capacity.
Required:
a. Calculate the effect on Lakeside's operating
income of accepting the order from the nonprofit organization.
ANSWER:

| Existing | Proposed | ||
| SP | 52 | ||
| Direct Material | 14 | 16.8 | (20% increase) |
| Direct Labor | 16 | 19.2 | (20% increase) |
| Variable Overhead | 7 | 7 | |
| Fixed Overhead | 7 | 7 | |
| Income | 8 | -50 | |
| New order | 8400 | units | |
| Selling Price | 38.4 | per unit | |

| Therefore, fixed cost will not be relevant | |||
| So net operating income from new order from not profit organization will be:- | |||
| SP | 38.4 | ||
| Direct Material | 14 | ||
| Direct Labor | 16 | ||
| Variable Overhead | 7 | ||
| Profit per unit | 1.4 | ||
| Units | 8400 | ||
