Question - Special-Order Decision, Alternatives, Relevant Costs - Sequoia Paper Products, Inc., manufactures boxed stationery for sale to specialty shops. Currently, the company is operating at 85 percent of capacity. A chain of drugstores has offered to buy 32,000 boxes of Sequoia's blue-bordered thank-you notes as long as the box can be customized with the drugstore chain's logo. While the normal selling price is $6.10 per box, the chain has offered just $3.00 per box. Sequoia can accommodate the special order without affecting current sales.
Unit cost information for a box of thank-you notes follows:
Direct materials $1.95
Direct labor 0.31
Variable overhead 0.08
Fixed overhead 2.10
Total cost per box $4.44
Fixed overhead is $440,000 per year and will not be affected by the special order. Normally, there is a commission of 6 percent of price; this will not be paid on the special order since the drugstore chain is dealing directly with the company. The special order will require additional fixed costs of $13,900 for the design and setup of the machinery to stamp the drugstore chain's logo on each box.
