Miramar Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 162,000 tires. Miramar presently produces and sells 124,000 tires for the North American market at a price of $107.00 per tire. Miramar is evaluating a special order from a South American automobile company, Rio Motors. Rio Motors is offering to buy 19,000 tires for $87.75 per tire. Miramars accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:
Direct materials | $41 |
Direct labor | 15 |
Factory overhead (60% variable) | 25 |
Selling and administrative expenses (40% variable) | 21 |
Total | $102 |
Miramar pays a sales commission equal to 5% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $6.00 per tire. In addition, Rio has made the order conditional on Miramar Tire and Rubber Company receiving a Brazilian safety certification. Rio estimates that this certification would cost Miramar Tire $108,300.
