3 Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 46,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below: Direct materials Direct labor 12.5 Variable manufacturing overhead bones Fixed manufacturing overhead Variable selling expense Fixed selling expense Total cost effo Unit $35 Total 600,000 364,000 3 138,000 5 230, 2 92,000 16 $ 30 276,000 $ 1,794,000 The Rets normally sell for $44 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is $230,000 per year within the range of 38,000 through 46,000 Rets per year Required: 1 Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 38,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain has offered to purchase 8.000 Rets if Polaski is willing to accept a 16% discount off the regular price. There would be no sales commissions on this order, thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75% However, Polaski Company would have to purchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain's name on the 8.000 units. This machine would cost $16.000. Polasks Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional uruts in the future. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.) 2. Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 38.000 Rets through regular channels. next year The US Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 8.000 Rets The Army would reimburse Polaski for all of the vanable and fixed production costs assigned to the units by the company's absorpbon costing system, plus it would pay an additional fee of $1.40 per unit. Because the army would pick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated
