Assume that due to a recession Polaski Company expects to sell only 44,000 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 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 6,000 units. This machine would cost $12,000. Polaski Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units in the future. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) or accepting the special order?
