Question - Kneller Co. manufactures and sells medals for winners of athletic and other events. Its manufacturing plant has the capacity to produce 22,000 medals each month; current monthly production is 10,000 medals. The company normally charges $86 per medal. Cost data for the current level of production are shown below:
Variable costs: Direct materials $416,900
Direct labor $133,400
Selling and administrative $21,600
Fixed costs: Manufacturing $124,600
Selling and administrative $68,200
The company has just received a special one-time order for 400 medals at $74 each. For this particular order, no variable selling and administrative costs would be incurred. This order would also have no effect on fixed costs. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost.
Required - Should the company accept this special order?
