Question
Explanation / Answer
(a). When Regal has excess capacity;-
While accepting this special order Regal has to incur only the variable cost related to product. The fixed cost remain the same it will not increase the cost of special order.
Calculation of profit or loss;-
Direct material (900×$20). = 18000
Direct labour (900×32). = 28800
Variable manufacturing overhead (900×18) = 16200
--------------
Cost of extra 900 units. =63000
----------------
Sales price (900×$ 80) =72000
Cost price. =63000
------------
Profit. =9000
So accept the special order as the profit is increased by 9000.
