Question

The company has an opportunity to sell 20,000 additional units at $13 per unit. The additional sales would not affect its current expected sales. Direct materials and labor costs per unit would be the same for the additional units as they are for the regular units. However, the additional volume would create the following incremental costs: (1) total overhead would increase by 15% and (2) administrative expenses would increase by $86,000.

Calculate the combined total net income if the company accepts the offer to sell additional units at the reduced price of $13 per unit.

Answer 1

$810,000

Step-by-step explanation:

incremental revenues = 20,000 x $13 = $260,000

incremental direct materials costs = 20,000 x $2 = ($40,000)

incremental direct labor costs = 20,000 x $4 = ($80,000)

additional overhead costs = $200,000 x 15% = ($30,000)

additional administrative expenses = ($86,000)

incremental net income = $24,000

combined net income = incremental net income + regular net income = $24,000 + $786,000 = $810,000
