Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 36,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Variable selling expense Fixed selling expense Total cost Unit Total $ 20 $ 720,000 8 288,000 3 108,000 5 180,000 2 72,000 6 216,000 $ 44 $ 1,584,000 The Rets normally sell for $49 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is $180,000 per year within the range of 29,000 through 36,000 Rets per year. Required: 1. Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 29,000 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? Note: Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. 2. Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 29,000 Rets through regular channels next year. The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 7,000 Rets. The Army would reimburse Polaski for all of the variable and fixed production costs assigned to the units by the company's absorption costing system, plus it would pay an additional fee of $1.60 per unit. Because the army would pick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order? 1. Financial advantage 2. Financial advantage Delta Company produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's normal activity level of 92,400 units per year is Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Variable selling and administrative expenses Fixed selling and administrative expenses $ 2.50 $2.00 50.80 $3.85 $ 1.60 $1.00 The normal selling price is $23.00 per unit. The company's capacity is 126,000 units per year. An order has been received from a mail- order house for 2.800 units at a special price of $20.00 per unit. This order would not affect regular sales or the company's total fixed costs Required: 1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order? 2. As a separate matter from the special order, assume the company's Inventory includes 1,000 units of this product that were produced last year and that are inferior to the current model. The units must be sold through regular channels at reduced prices. The company does not expect the selling of these inferior units to have any effect on the sales of its current model. What unit cost is relevant for establishing a minimum selling price for the inferior units? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below.
