Answer 1

Diamond Boot Factory

Differential income per pair of boots from accepting the special order is:

= $7.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Selling price of specialty boots = $26 a pair

Variable cost per boot = $9

Special offer for 70 boots at $18 per pair

Additional stitching cost = $2

Total variable cost for the special order = $11 ($9 + $2)

Revenue from the special order = $1,260 ($18 * 70)

Variable cost for the special order 770 ($11 * 70)

Differential income = $490 ($7 * 70)
