Imperial Jewelers manufactures and sells a gold bracelet for $$406\mathrm{.}00.$ The company's accounting system says the unit product

cost for this bracelet is $$274\mathrm{.}00,$ as shown below:

A wedding party has approached Imperial Jewelers about buying $16$ gold bracelets for the discounted price of $$366\mathrm{.}00$ each.

The wedding party would like special filigree applied to the bracelets that would increase the direct materials cost per bracelet

by $$9.$ Imperial Jewelers would have to buy a special tool for $$465$ to apply the filigree to the bracelets. The special tool would

have no other use once the special order is completed.

To analyze this special order, Imperial Jewelers determined most of its manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by

variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $$10\mathrm{.}00$ of the overhead is variable with respect to the

number of bracelets produced. The company also believes accepting this order would have no effect on its ability to produce

and sell jewelry to other customers. Furthermore, the company could fulfill the wedding party's order using existing

manufacturing capacity.
