Special-Order Decision, Traditional Analysis, Qualitative Aspects Feinan Sports, Inc. manufactures sporting equipment, including weight-lifting gloves. A national sporting goods chain recently submitted a special order for 4,000 pairs of weight- lifting gloves. Feinan Sports was not operating at capacity and could use the extra business. Unfortunately, the order's offering price of $12.70 per pair was below the cost to produce them. The controller was opposed to taking a loss on the deal. However, the personnel manager argued in favor of accepting the order even though a loss would be incurred; it would avoid the problem of layoffs and would help maintain the community image of the company. The full cost to produce a pair of weight lifting gloves is presented below. Direct materials $7.40 Direct labor 3.80 Vanable overhead 1.60 Fixed overhead Total 3.10 $15.90 No variable selling or administrative expenses would be associated with the order.
