Direct materials Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 30,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below: Total $ 600,000 180,000 Unit $ 20 6 3 90,000 7 210,000 4 120,000 6 180,000 $46 $ 1,380,000 Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Variable selling expense Fixed selling expense Total cost The Rets normally sell for $51 each.

Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 23,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain has offered to purchase 7,000 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 7,000 units. This machine would cost $14,000 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.)
