Q2: Delta 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 60,000 units per year is: Direct materials . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $5.10 Direct labor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $3.80 Variable manufacturing overhead . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $1.00 Fixed manufacturing overhead . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $4.20 Variable selling and administrative expense . . . . . . $1.50 Fixed selling and administrative expense . . . . . . . . $2.40 The normal selling price is $21 per unit. The company's capacity is 75,000 units per year. An order has been received from a mail-order house for 15,000 units at a special price of $14.00 per unit. This order would not affect regular sales. 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.

A customer has requested that Lewelling Corporation fill a special order for 9,000 units of product S47 for $20.50 per unit. While the product would be modified slightly for the special order, product S47's normal unit product cost is $14.40: - Direct materials: $3.10 - Direct labor: $1.50 - Variable manufacturing overhead: $6.40 - Fixed manufacturing overhead: $3.40 Unit product cost: $14.40 Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like modifications made to product S47 that would increase the variable costs by $5.00 per unit and that would require an investment of $36,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be:
