Elhard Company produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's normal activity level of 40,000 units per month is as follows: Direct materials: $18.00 Direct labor: $6.80 Variable manufacturing overhead: $2.40 Fixed manufacturing overhead: $11.60 Variable selling & administrative expense: $1.90 Fixed selling & administrative expense: $5.10 The normal selling price of the product is $51.10 per unit. An order has been received from an overseas customer for 2,000 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would have no effect on the company's normal sales and would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $0.10 less per unit on this order than on normal sales. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. Suppose the company is already operating at capacity when the special order is received from the overseas customer. What would be the opportunity cost of each unit delivered to the overseas customer? A) $5.30 B) $9.50 C) $5.40 D) $22.00

Required: 1. If the order is accepted, by how much will annual profits be increased or decreased? (The order will not change the company's total fixed costs.) 2. Assume the company has 1,000 units of this product left over from last year that are inferior to the current model. The units must be sold through regular channels at reduced prices. What unit cost is relevant for establishing a minimum selling price for these units? Explain.
