Answer 1

Effect n income= $4,900

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Management is considering a special order for 700 units of product J45 at $50 each.

Direct materials= $17 per unit

Direct labor= $18 per unit

Variable manufacturing overhead= 3 per unit

Variable selling and administrative expenses= $5 per unit

Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.

First, we determine the unitary variable cost:

Unitary varaible cost= 17 + 18 + 3 + 5= $43

Now, we can calculate the effect on income:

Effect n income= 700*(50 - 43)= $4,900
