Waterways mass-produces a special connector unit that it normally sells for $4.10. It sells approximately 34,100 of these units each year. The variable costs for each unit are $2.30. A company in Canada that has been unable to produce enough of a similar connector to meet customer demand would like to buy 16,000 of these units at $2.60 per unit. The production of these units is near full capacity at Waterways, so to accept the offer from the Canadian company would require temporarily adding another shift to its production line. To do this would increase variable manufacturing costs by $0.30 per unit. However, variable selling costs would be reduced by $0.20 a unit. An irrigation company has asked for a special order of 2,200 of the connectors. To meet this special order, Waterways would not need an additional shift, and the irrigation company is willing to pay $3.20 per unit. What are the consequences of Waterways agreeing to provide the 16,000 units to the Canadian company? Would this be a wise "special order to accept?

Waterways has fixed costs of $0.20 per unit that cannot be eliminated by buying this unit. Waterways needs 505,000 of these units each year. If Waterways decides to buy rather than produce the small fitting, it can devote the machinery and labor to making a timing unit it now buys from another company. Waterways uses approximately 500 of these units each year. The cost of the unit is $12.81. To aid in the production of this unit, Waterways would need to purchase a new machine at a cost of $2,351, and the cost of producing the units would be $10.20 a unit. Without considering the possibility of making the timing unit, evaluate whether Waterways should buy or continue to make the small fitting. The company should the fitting.
