question 74

Essay

Wear Company is operating at 70% of its manufacturing capacity of 78,000 product units per year.A customer has offered to buy an additional 18,000 units at $41 each and sell them outside the country so as not to compete with Wear Company.The following data are available:
$$\begin{array} { l r r } \text { Costs at 70\%/ Capacity: } & { \text { Per } } \\& \text { Unit } & \text { Total } \\\text { Direct materials } & \$ 28.00 & \$ 1,528,800 \\\text { Direct labor } & 3.00 & 163,800 \\\text { Overhead (fixed ard variable) } & 7.00 & 382,200 \\\text { Totals } & \$ 38.00 & \$ 2,074,800 \\\end{array}$$
In producing 18,000 additional units fixed overhead costs would remain at their current level but incremental variable overhead costs of $1.28 per unit would be incurred.What is the effect on total income if Wear Company accepts this order?
