Windmire Company manufactures and sells to local wholesalers approximately 300,000 units per month at a sales price of $4 per unit. Monthly costs for the production and sale of this quantity follow

A new out-of-state distributor has offered to buy 50,000 units next month for $3.44 each. These units would be marketed in other states and would not affect Windtrax’s sales through its normal channels. A study of the costs of this new business reveals the following:
• Direct materials costs are 100% variable.
• Per unit direct labor costs for the additional units would be 50% higher than normal because their pro¬ duction would require overtime pay at one and one half times their normal rate to meet the distributor’s deadline.
• Twenty-five percent of the normal annual overhead costs are fixed at any production level from 250,000 to 400,000 units. The remaining 75% is variable with volume.
• Accepting the new business would involve no additional selling expenses.
• Accepting the new business would increase administrative expenses by a $4,000 fixed amount.
Required Prepare a three-column comparative income statement that shows the following:
1. Monthly operating income without the special order (column 1).
