Green Law Company has excess capacity. It costs Green Lawn Company $1,000 in variable costs and $500 in fixed costs for each unit. They will not incur any additional fixed costs due to this order. If Green Lawn Company accepts this order, Net Income will be affected by how much?

Decrease by $300,000

Explanation / Answer

Ans.    The net income will be increased by $ 200000.

               The green law company has excess capacity to accept the order. It will not have to incure the extra fixed cost . So fixed cost will be avoided and only variable cost to be incurred.

Sell price per unit                       $1200

Less : Variable Cost per unit    $1000

Profit per unit                                $200

Total Profit      =    $200 X 1000 unit order

                        =    $ 200000

Total profit increased by $ 200000
