Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 30,000 Rets per year Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given betow: The Rets normally sell for $57 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is $270,000 per yedr within the range of 21,000 through 30,000 Rets per year. 1. Assume due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 21,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain offered to purchase 9,000 Rets if Polaski will accept a 16% discount off the regular pifce. There would be no sales commissions on this order, thus, varlable selling expenses would be slashed by 75\%. However, Polaski Company would have to purchase a special machine for $18,000 to engrave the retail chain's name on the 9,000 units. 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 Polaski Company expects to sell 21,000 Rets through regular channels next year. The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 9,000 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 $1.40 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. Ariny's special order? 3. Assume the same situation as described in (2) above, except the company expects to sell 30,000 Rets through regular channels next year. Thus, accepting the U.S. Army's order would require giving up regular sales of 9,000 Rets. Given this new information, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the US Army's special order
