Sherman Industries, a manufacturer of electronic parts, has recently received an invitation to bid on a special order for 7,000 units of one of its most popular products. Sherman currently manufactures 25,000 units of this product in its Rockland, Utah, plant. The plant is operating at 50% capacity. The company incurs no variable marketing costs. The sales manager of Sherman wants to set the bid at $16.50 because she is sure that Sherman will get the business at that price. Others on the executive committee of the firm object, saying that Sherman would lose money on the special order at that price.(11 pts) Unit cost Unit cost Units 25,000 32.000 Manufacturing costs: Direct Materials $212,500 $8.50 $272,000 $8.50 Direct labor 106,250 4.25 136,000 4.25 Variable Factory overhead 68,750 2.75 88,000 2.75 Fixed Factory overhead 125,000 5.00 125,000 3.91 Total manufacturing costs 512.500 20.50 621,000 19.41 Marketing costs 75,000 3.00 75,000 2.34 Total Costs $587,500 $696,000 Unit cost $23.50 $21.75 Required 1.
