Imperial Jewelers manufactures and sells a gold bracelet for $$401\mathrm{.}00.$ The company's accounting

system says the unit product cost for this bracelet is $$272\mathrm{.}00,$ as shown below:

A wedding party has approached Imperial Jewelers about buying $19$ gold bracelets for the

discounted price of $$361\mathrm{.}00$ each. The wedding party would like special filigree applied to the

bracelets that would increase the direct materials cost per bracelet by $$10.$ Imperial Jewelers would

have to buy a special tool for $$461$ 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,

$$11\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.
