Chapter Eleven Problems-Required t 25 points 3 Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 42.000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below. Direct materials Unit 520 Direct labor 8 Total $840,000 336,000 Variable manufacturing overhead 3 120,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 7 294,000 Variable selling expense 4 168,000 Find selling expense total cost 548 252,000 $2,016,000 ebook P References The Rets normally sell for $53 each, Fixed manufacturing overhead is $294,000 per year within the range of 32.000 through 42,000 Rets per year Required: 1 Assume that due to a recession, Poleski Company expects to sell only 32,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retall chain has offered to purchase 10,000 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 10,000 units. This machine would cost $20,000. Polaski Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units 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 32,000 Rets through regular channels next year The US Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 10,000 Rets. The Army would reimburse Polaski for all of the variable and fixed production costs assigned to the units by the company's absorption 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 with this order. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the US Army's special order?
