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.

Assume the following two changes for the special order: 1) variable cost of goods sold will increase by $0.86 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 $9.37    $583,751    Period costs 2.56    159,488    Total $11.93    $743,239
