Miyamoto Jewelers is considering a special order for 29 handcrafted gold bracelets to be given as gifts to members of a wedding party. The normal selling price of a gold bracelet is $402 and its unit product cost is $275 as shown below:

Direct materials

146

Direct labor

Manufacturing overhead

Unit product cost

275

Most of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $13 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced. The customer who is interested in the special bracelet order would like special filigree applied to the bracelets. This filigree would require additional materials costing $12 per bracelet and would also require acquisition of a special tool costing $452 that would have no other use once the special order is completed. This order would have no effect on the company's regular sales and the order could be fulfilled using the company's existing capacity without affecting any other order.
