Question - Good Luck Limited manufactures and markets an USB product which they sell for $90 per unit. Current sales and production volume is 200,000 units per month which represents 80% of the production capacity.
Total cost for the last month was $14,000,000 of which $4,000,000 were fixed costs. This represented a total cost of $70 per unit.
They have been approached by two customers for special production order:
(1) Customer A offers to buy additional 50,000 units of product per month for a unit price of $65 per unit.
(2) Customer B offers to buy 100,000 units of products per month at a price of $100 per unit, with a requirement of changing the outer shell design to make the product look more appealing to users. In order to perform the change, Good Luck Limited would need to incur additional $1,000,000 fixed cost per month.
When considering the two separate offers, Good Luck Limited decides that current production for existing customers should be maintained and should not be reduced.
