PROBLEM 2 Heck's Kitchens is approached by Mr. Louis Cifer, a new customer, to fulfill a 60 unit one-time-only special order for a product similar to one offered to regular customers. The following per unit data apply for sales to regular customers:
Direct materials $455
Direct labor 300
Variable manufacturing support 45
Fixed manufacturing support 100
Total manufacturing costs 900
Markup (60%) 540
Targeted selling price $1,440
Heck's Kitchens has excess capacity. Mr. Cifer wants the cabinets in cherry rather than oak, so direct material costs will increase by $50 per unit. CIfer wants to pay only a 20% markup. For Heck's Kitchens, what is the minimum acceptable price of this one-time-only special order? Prepare an incremental analysis in good form.
Minimum acceptable price = $455 + $300 + $45 + $50 = $850
Unit price = ($455 + $300 + $45 + $50)*120% =
$1,020
Total price of the order ($1,020*60)
$61,200
Incremental revenue ($1,020*60)
$ 61,200
Incremental VC ($850*60)
(51,000)
Incremental increase in profit if accept special order
$ 10,200
