Question

At the end of the year, a company offered to buy 4,230 units of a product from X Company for a special price of $11.00 each instead of the company's regular price of $18.00 each. The following information relates to the 65,200 units of the product that X Company made and sold to its regular customers during the year:


Fixed cost of goods sold for the year were $132,356, and fixed period costs were $81,500. Variable period costs include selling commissions equal to 3% of revenue.

5. Profit on the special order is ___?

6. Assume the following two changes for the special order: 1) variable cost of goods sold will increase by $0.88 per unit, and 2) there will be no selling commissions. What will be the effect of these two changes on the special order profit?

Per-Unit Total      Cost of goods sold $8.18    $533,336    Period costs 2.32    151,264    Total $10.50    $684,600   

Explanation / Answer

Variable cost = $8.18

Additional VC = $0.88

TOTAL VC= 9.06

SELLING PRICE = $11

CONTRIBUTION= $1.94 X 4230 UNITS= $8206.20

This is the profit on special order
