Question

Please explain for points!


Anderson Manufacturing makes a single product. Budget information regarding the current period is given below:

  

Revenue (100,000 units at $8.00)

$800,000

Direct materials

150,000

Direct labor

125,000

Variable manufacturing overhead

235,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead

110,000

Net income

$180,000

Dye Company approaches Anderson with a special order for 15,000 units at a price of $7.50 per unit. Variable costs will be the same as the current production and accepting the special order will not have any impact on the rest of the company's orders. However, Anderson is operating at capacity and will incur an additional $50,000 in fixed manufacturing overhead if the order is accepted.

19.

What is the incremental income (loss) associated with accepting the special order?

A)

($14,000)

B)

$36,000

C)

($23,500)

D)

$27,000

Explanation / Answer

Variable cost per unit = (150000+125000+235000)/100000

=$5.10 per unit

Total cost of accepting the new offer:

New Fixed cost = $(110000+50000)

=$160000

Total cost = (15000+100000)*5.10+160000

=$746500

Profit = 800000+7.5*15000-746500

=$166000

Therefore incremental loss = $(180000-166000)

=$(14000)

Hence, option (A) is the correct answer
