Alton Incorporated is working at full production capacity producing $28,000$ units of a unique product. Manufacturing costs per unit for

the product are as follows:

The per$-$unit manufacturing overhead cost is based on a $$4$ variable cost per unit and $$168,000$ fixed costs. The nonmanufacturing

costs, all variable, are $$10$ per unit, and the sales price is $$42$ per unit.

Sports Headquarters Company $($SHC$)$ has asked Alton to produce $6,600$ units of a modification of the new product. This modification

would require the same manufacturing processes. However, because of the nature of the proposed sale, the estimated

nonmanufacturing costs per unit are only $$5($not $$10).$ Alton would sell the modified product to SHC for $$32$ per unit.

Required

$1-$a$.$ Calculate the contribution margin for $6,600$ units for both the current and special order.

$1-$b$.$ Should Alton produce the special order for SHC$?$

Suppose that Alton Incorporated had been working at less than full capacity to produce $23,200$ units of the product when SHC

made the offer. What is the minimum price per unit that Alton should accept for the modified product under these conditions?
