Question 4 Richmond Production produces tents that it sells for $64 a unit. Operating at capacity, the company can produce 50,000 tents a year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below: Direct material $1,200,000 Direct labour 300,000 Variable manufacturing overhead 100,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 500,000 Variable selling and administrative costs 200,000 Fixed selling and administrative costs 400,000 Total costs $2,700,000 The Australian Air Force Cadets would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 10,000 tents for its outreach programs. The air force cadets would pay a fee of $8 per tent, and in addition it would reimburse Richmond for its manufacturing costs (both fixed and variable). The company would not incur its usual variable selling expenses with this special order. Required: (a) Assuming that Richmond currently produces and sell 40,000 tents a year, should the company accept this special order? Base your answer on the extent to which the special order either increases or decreases the total net operating income of Richmond Production. Show your calculations clearly and logically. (b) If Richmond is already operating at capacity and could sell 50,000 tents through regular channels, should the company accept this special order? Base your answer on the extent to which the special order either increases or decreases the total net operating income of Richmond Production. Show your calculations clearly and logically. (c) In a decision about whether to accept or reject a special order, give two reasons why it is important to know if this is a "one-off" decision or not. (d) Provide and explain three strategic issues that should be considered in making the decision for a special order? (8 + 5+ 6 + 6 = 25 marks)
