Question 5: Anderson Manufacturing makes a product. Budget information regarding the current period is provided below:

Revenue(100,000 units at $8.00)               $800,000

Direct labor         150,000

Net income        $180,000

Dye Company approaches Anderson with a special order for 15,000 units at a price of $7.50 per unit.

A             $76,500

B             $93,000

C             $126,500

D             $143,000
