Question

Excellent Manufacturers Inc. has a current production level of​ 20,000 units per month. Unit costs at this level​ are: Direct materials ​$0.26 Direct labor 0.40 Variable overhead 0.16 Fixed overhead 0.21 Marketing − fixed 0.25 ​Marketing/distribution − variable 0.42 Current monthly sales are​ 18,000 units. Jax Company has contacted Excellent about purchasing​ 1,550 units at​ $2.00 each. Current sales would NOT be affected by the one−time−only special​ order, and variable​ marketing/distribution costs would NOT be incurred on the special order. What is Ratzlaff​ Company's change in operating profits if the special order is​ accepted?

Answer 1

The increase in operating profit is $1,829.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rise or fall in the operating income:

= Purchase unit × ( offer price- direct material- direct labor- variable overhead)

The rise or fall in the operating income: = 1550× (2 - 0.26 - 0.4 - 0.16)

The rise or fall in the operating income: = $1829

Therefore the profit will increase by $1829

Here all the fixed cost is not considered because it is a sunk cost and variable and administrative expenses are also not considered because these costs are not going to be incurred for offer.
