Task Three (Special Order Decisions)

Anglen Co. manufactures and sells trophies for winners of athletic and other events. Its manufacturing plant has the capacity to produce 18,000 trophies each month; current monthly production is 14,400 trophies. The company normally charges $103 per trophy. Cost data for the current level of production are shown below:

	Variable costs:
	Direct materials	$460,800
	Direct labor	$316,800
	Selling and administrative	$15,840
	Fixed costs:
	Manufacturing	$404,640
	Selling and administrative	$74,880

The company has just received a special one-time order for 900 trophies at $48 each. For this particular order, no variable selling and administrative costs would be incurred. This order would also have no effect on fixed costs. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost.

Required:

Should the company accept this special order? Why?
