Summit Paintball Supply manufactures paintballs used by recreational gamers. The cost of producing a box

of 2,500 paintballs is as follows:

Direct materials $12.50

Direct labor 6.25

Variable factory overhead 18.75

Fixed factory overhead 25.00

Variable selling, general, and administrative costs 18.75

Fixed selling, general, and administrative costs 4.00

The fixed factory overhead and fixed SG&A cost is allocated based on an assumption that the business will

produce 400,000 boxes of paintballs per year. The company has capacity to produce 500,000 boxes without

impacting either category of fixed cost.

(a) The market for paintballs has become very competitive. Management has requested to know

the break-even price that can be charged for a box of paintballs, assuming production and sale of

400,000 boxes.

(b) Management has received a special order request for 100,000 boxes of "private label" paintballs.

The order specifies a per box price of $75. How will profitability be impacted if the order is accepted?
