a. Reject Order Accept Order Differential income Working Revenue 0 445500 445500 16500*27 Costs: Variable Manufacturing cost 0 -412500 -412500 16500*25 Income (Loss) 0 33000 33000 b. Having unused capacity is RELEVANT to decision. The differential revenue is MORE than the differential cost. Thus, accepting this additional business will result in a net gain c. Variable Cost $25 per unit to produce contribution margin, minimum price should be more than variable cost of $25. Hence minimum price of $25.01 will give positive contribution margin
