its been long since I posted. Kindly help.

Explanation / Answer

Answer is £180,000

Under Special Order:

Number of units = 60,000
Selling Price = £90 per unit

Total Variable Costs per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct Labor per unit + Variable Overhead per unit + Variable Selling Cost per unit
Total Variable Costs per unit = £30 + £15 + £30 + £12
Total Variable Costs per unit = £87

Sales Revenue = 60,000 * £90
Sales Revenue = £5,400,000

Variable Costs = 60,000 * £87
Variable Costs = £5,220,000

Profit = Sales Revenue - Variable Costs
Profit = £5,400,000 - £5,220,000
Profit = £180,000

So, profit associated with the special order is £180,000
