Question
Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $165 and $130, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $8 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 113,000 units of each product. Its unit costs for each product at this level of activity are given below:
The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are deemed unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars
Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 99,000 Betas during the current year. One of Cane’s sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 2,000 additional Betas for a price of $48 per unit. If Cane accepts the customer’s offer, how much will its profits increase or decrease?
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]Explanation / Answer
Variable cost = 80 per unit
Sale price of order per unit = 48 per unit
Loss due to acceptance of order = 2000x(48 - 80)
= 64000
Thus profit will decrease due to acceptance of offer.
