Sherene Nili manages a company that produces wedding gowns. She produces both a custom product that is made to order and a standard product that is sold in bridal salons. Her accountant prepared the following forecasted income statement for March, which is a busy month: Number of dresses Sales revenue Materials Labor Machine depreciation Rent Heat and light Other production costs Marketing and administration Total costs Operating profit Custom Dresses 10 $48,5ee $ 9,700 19,700 570 3,900 1,100 Standard Dresses Total 20 30 $28,500 $77,000 $ 7,700 $17,400 8,780 28,400 270 840 2,500 5,400 700 1,800 2,500 7489 $64, 740 $12,260 ES Ms. Nili already has orders for the 10 custom dresses reflected in the March forecasted income statement. The depreciation charges are for machines used in the respective product lines. Machines depreciate at the rate of $1 per hour based on hours used, so these are variable costs. In March, cutting and sewing machines are expected to operate for 840 hours of which 570 hours will be used to make custom dresses. The rent is for the building space, which has been leased for several years at $6.400 per month. The rent heat and light are allocated to the product lines based on the amount of floor space occupled. ---- 106 Next > occupied. A valued customer, who is a wedding consultant, has asked Ms. Nill for a special favor. This customer has a client who wants to get married in early April. Ms. Nili's company is working at capacity and would have to give up some other business to make this dress. She can't renege on custom orders already agreed to, but she can reduce the number of standard dresses produced in March to 10. Ms. Nili would lose permanently the opportunity to make up the lost production of standard dresses because she has no unused capacity for the foreseeable future. The customer is willing to pay $23,500 for the special order. Materials and labor for the order will cost $5.700 and $9,700, respectively. The special order would require 125 hours of machine time. Ms. Nili's company would save 135 hours of machine time from the standard dress business given up. Rent, heat and light, and other production costs would not be affected by the special order.
