Question

Accounting

Delta Company produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the companys normal activity level of 86,400 units per year is:

Direct materials $ 1.80
Direct labor $ 3.00
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 0.60
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.75
Variable selling and administrative expenses $ 1.10
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $ 2.00

The normal selling price is $24.00 per unit. The companys capacity is 106,800 units per year. An order has been received from a mail-order house for 1,700 units at a special price of $21.00 per unit. This order would not affect regular sales or the companys total fixed costs.

Required:

1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order?

2. As a separate matter from the special order, assume the companys inventory includes 1,000 units of this product that were produced last year and that are inferior to the current model. The units must be sold through regular channels at reduced prices. What unit cost is relevant for establishing a minimum selling price for these units?
