Question

At the end of the year, a company offered to buy 4,090 units of a product from X Company for a special price of $12.00 each instead of the company's regular price of $19.00 each. The following information relates to the 62,300 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 $138,929, and fixed period costs were $84,105. Variable period costs include selling commissions equal to 2% of revenue.

5. Profit on the special order is?

Per-Unit Total      Cost of goods sold $9.37    $583,751    Period costs 2.56    159,488    Total $11.93    $743,239   

Explanation / Answer

5)

Variable Cost of goods sold per unit = (583751-138929)/62300 = 7.14

Variable period costs = (159488-84105)/62300 = 1.21

Total variable cost for special order = (7.14+1.21)*4090 = 34151.50

Total sales price received for special order = 12*4090 = 49080

Profit on special order = 49080 -  34151.50 = 14928.50
