The relevant range for the production and sale of the calculators is between 37,000 and 71,000 units per year. $ 418,000 Revenue (38,000 units * $11.00) Unit-level variable costs Materials cost (38,000 $3.00) Labor cost (38,000 $2.00) Manufacturing overhead (38,000 x $0.10) Shipping and handling (38,000 * $0.25) Sales commissions (38,000 $2.00) Contribution margin Fixed expenses Advertising costs Salary of production supervisor Allocated company-wide facility-level expenses Net loss (114,000) (76,000) (3,800) (9,500) (76,000) 138,700 (27,000) (67,000) (82,000) $ (37,300) Required a. A large discount store has approached the owner of Jordan about buying 7,000 calculators. It would replace The Math Machine's label with its own logo to avoid affecting Jordan's existing customers. Because the offer was made directly to the owner, no sales commissions on the transaction would be involved, but the discount store is willing to pay only $5.60 per calculator. Calculate the contribution margin from the special order. Based on quantitative factors alone, should Jordan accept the special order? b-1.
