Landor Appliance Corporation makes and sells electric fans. Each fan regularly sells for $48. The following cost data per fan is based on a full capacity of 151,000 fans produced each period.
| Direct materials | $ | 7 |
| Direct labor | $ | 9 |
| Manufacturing overhead (50% variable and 50% unavoidable fixed) | $ | 6 |
A special order has been received by Landor for a sale of 25,000 fans to an overseas customer. The only selling costs that would be incurred on this order would be $6 per fan for shipping. Landor is now selling 126,000 fans through regular channels each period. Assume that direct labor is an avoidable cost in this decision. What should Landor use as a minimum selling price per fan in negotiating a price for this special order?

Universe Studios Sentiasa is a theme park licensed from a major
Bollywood studio. Customers pay a fixed fee to enter the park where
they can participate in a variety of activities such as riding
roller-coasters, playing on slides and purchasing themed souvenirs
from gift shops.
Customers purchase tickets to enter the theme park from ticket
offices located outside the park. Tickets are only valid on the day
of purchase. Adults and children are chargedthe same price for
admission to the park. Tickets are preprinted and stored in each
ticket office. Tickets are purchased using either cash or credit
cards. Each ticket has a number comprising of two elements - two
digits relating to the ticket office followed by six digits to
identify the ticket. The last six digits are in ascending
sequential order.All cash ticket sales are recorded on a computer
showing the amount of each sale and the number of tickets issued.
This information is transferred electronically to the accounts
office. Cash is collected regularly from each ticket office by two
security guards. The cash is then counted by two accounts clerks
and banked on a daily basis. The total cash from each ticket office
is agreed to the sales information that has been transferred from
each office. Total cash received is then recorded in the cash book,
and then the general ledger.
The park also accepts Visa and Mastercard. Payments by credit cards
are authorised online as the customers purchase their tickets.
Computers in each ticket office record the sales information, which
is transferred electronically to the accounts office. Credit card
sales are recorded for each credit card company in a receivables
ledger. When payment is received from the credit card companies,
the accounts clerks agree the total sales values to the amounts
received from the credit card companies, less the commission
payable to those companies. The receivables ledger is updated with
the payments received. You are now commencing the planning of the
annual audit of Universe Studios Sentiasa .
