Imperlal Jewelers manufactures and sells a gold bracelet for $407.00. The company's accounting system says that the unit product cost for this bracelet is $261.00 as shown below: The members of a wedding party have approached Imperial Jewelers about buying 14 of these gold bracelets for the discounted price of $367.00 each. The members of the wedding party would like speclal filigree applied to the bracelets that would increase the direct materlals cost per bracelet by $7. Imperlal Jewelers would also have to buy a speclal tool for $453 to apply the fillgree to the bracelets. The special tool would have no other use once the speclal order is completed. To analyze this special order opportunity, Imperial Jewelers has determined that most of its manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by varlations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $8.00 of the overhead is varlable with respect to the number of bracelets produced.
