Maplewood Company incurred the following costs for 70,000 units: Variable costs $420,000 Fixed costs 392,000 Maplewood has received a special order from a foreign company for 3,000 units. There is sufficient capacity to fill the order without jeopardizing regular sales. Filling the order will require spending an additional $6,300 for shipping. If Maplewood wants to break even on the order, what should the unit sales price be

Answer 1

$8.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable cost to be incurred for the offer = ($420,000/70,000) * 3,000

Variable cost to be incurred for the offer = $6 * 3,000

Variable cost to be incurred for the offer = $18,000

Additional Fixed cost = $6,300

Total Cost incurred for the offer = Variable cost to be incurred for the offer + Additional Fixed cost

Total Cost incurred for the offer = $18,000 + $6,300

Total Cost incurred for the offer = $24,300

Unit Sales Price (Break even) = Total Cost incurred for the offer / 3,000 units

Unit Sales Price (Break even) = $24,300 / 3,000 units

Unit Sales Price (Break even) = $8.1
