The management team of Metlock Industries was evaluating its performance for the first half of the year. Production and sales of its fans were on budget at 3,100 units to date, with the following income statement reflecting its income for the first half of the year. Orders for the second half of the year were coming in slower than what the company had been expecting. When a new customer called and requested a special discount, the sales team listened. (a) - Your answer is partially correct. Assume the customer requests 185 units in the special order and offers $53 per unit. Since the customer came directly to the company, no variable selling cost will be incurred. How much better or worse off will Metlock Industries be if it accepts this special order, assuming it has enough idle capacity for the order? Metlock Industries would be by $ by accepting this order. Assume instead that the customer requests 105 units in the special order and offers $41 per unit. Metlock management still believes there will be enough capacity to take on the special or der. This time, however, variable selling costs will be incurred because the customer is working through a sales representative. How much better or worse off will Metlock Industries be if it accepts this special order? Metlockindustries would be by $ by accepting this order. Assume instead the customer requests 145 units and both a discounted price of $44 per unit and a customized version of the fan. In order to make the customized version, Metiock will need to purchase a special piece of equipment for $3,125, but it will not. incur any variable selling costs for this order. How much better or worse off will the company be if it uses its available capacity and accepts this special order? Metiockindustries would be by 5 by accepting this order
