The members of the wedding party would like special filigree applied to the bracelets that would require Imperial Jewelers to buy a special tool for $453 and that would increase the direct materials cost per bracelet by $13. The special tool would have no other use once the special order is completed. eBook Hint To analyze this special order opportunity, Imperial Jewelers has determined that most of its manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $14.00 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced.
