The following information relates to the 61,700 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 $131,421, and fixed period costs were $80,210. Variable period costs include selling commissions equal to 4% 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 $0.76 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 $8.49    $523,833    Period costs 2.36    145,612    Total $10.85    $669,445   

Explanation / Answer

variable cost of goods sold per unit =(523833-131421)/61700= 6.36 Variable Period costs =(145612-80210)/61700= 1.06 Variable commissions = 19*4%= 0.76 5 Incremental revenue 52320 =4360*12 Less:Variable costs 32351 =4360*(6.36+1.06) Profit on the special order 19969 6 Incremental revenue 52320 =4360*12 Less:Variable costs 32351 =4360*(6.36+0.76+1.06-0.76) Profit on the special order 19969 Effect of these two changes on the special order profit will be $0
