Myers Company uses a flexible budget for manufacturing overhead based on direct labor hours. Variable manufacturing overhead costs per direct labor hour are as follows.

Indirect labor $1.00
Indirect materials 0.70
Utilities 0.40


Fixed overhead costs per month are Supervision $4,000, Depreciation $1,200, and Property Taxes $800. The company believes it will normally operate in a range of 7,000–10,000 direct labor hours per month.

Assume that in July 2020, Myers Company incurs the following manufacturing overhead costs.

Variable Costs

Fixed Costs

Indirect labor $8,800 Supervision $4,000
Indirect materials 5,800 Depreciation 1,200
Utilities 3,200 Property taxes 800

Problem 11-22 Special Order Decisions [LO11-4]

Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 44,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below:

Unit Total
Direct materials $ 20 $ 880,000
Direct labor 10 440,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 3 132,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead 5 220,000
Variable selling expense 4 176,000
Fixed selling expense 6 264,000
Total cost $ 48 $ 2,112,000

The Rets normally sell for $53 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is $220,000 per year within the range of 36,000 through 44,000 Rets per year.

Required:

1. Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 36,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain has offered to purchase 8,000 Rets if Polaski is willing to accept a 16% discount off the regular price. There would be no sales commissions on this order; thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75%. However, Polaski Company would have to purchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain’s name on the 8,000 units. This machine would cost $16,000. Polaski Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units in the future. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

2. Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 36,000 Rets through regular channels next year. The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 8,000 Rets. The Army would pay a fixed fee of $1.40 per Ret, and it would reimburse Polaski Company for all costs of production (variable and fixed) associated with the units. Because the army would pick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?

3. Assume the same situation as described in (2) above, except that the company expects to sell 44,000 Rets through regular channels next year. Thus, accepting the U.S. Army’s order would require giving up regular sales of 8,000 Rets. Given this new information, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special orde
