Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 46,000 Rets per year Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below Unit 535 Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead Variable selling expense Fixed selling expense Total cost Total $ 690,000 368,000 138,000 322,000 184,000 276.000 $ 1,978,000 24 5.43 The Rets normally sell for 548 each Fixed manufacturing overhead is $322,000 per year within the range of 40,000 through 46,000 Rets per year Required: 1. Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 40,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain has offered to purchase 6,000 Rets If Polaski is willing to accept a 16% discount of 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 6,000 units. This machine would cost $12,000 Polski 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? (Round your Intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.) 2. Refer to the original data. Assume again that polask Company expects to sell only 40,000 Rets through regular channels next year The US Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 6,000 Rets. The Army would pay a fixed fee or $1.40 per Ret, and it would reimburse Polaski Company for all costs of production (variable and fixed) associated with the units. 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 US Army's special order? 3. Assume the same situation as described in (2) above, except that the company expects to sell 46,000 Rets through regular channels next year. Thus, accepting the US Army's order would require giving up regular sales of 6,000 Rets. Given this new information, what in the ninancial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the US Army's special order? 1 Financial advantage 2 Financial advantage 2. Trnancial (disadvantage) $ 7,9201 $ 51,600 $ 56,400
