Requlred Informatlon
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]
Award Plus Company manufactures medals for winners of athletic events and other contests. Its manufacturing plant has
the capacity to produce 10,000 medals each month; current monthly production is 7,540 medals. The company normally
charges $235 per medal. Variable costs and fixed costs for the current activity level follow:
Award Plus has just received a special one-time order for 2,460 medals at $125 per medal. For this particular order, no
variable marketing costs will be incurred. Cathy Senna, a management accountant with Award Plus, has been assigned
the task of analyzing this order and recommending whether the company should accept or reject it. After examining the
costs, Senna suggested to her supervisor, Gerard LePenn, who is the controller, that they request competitive bids from
vendors for the raw materials because the current quote seems high. LePenn insisted that the prices are in line with those
of other vendors and told her that she was not to discuss her observations with anyone else. Senna later discovered that
LePenn is a brother-in-law of the owner of the current raw materials supply vendor.
