Mohave Corp. makes several varieties of beach umbrellas and accessories. It has been approached by a company called Lost Mine Industries about producing a special order for a custom umbrella called the Ultimate Shade (US). The special-order umbrellas with the Lost Mine Company logo would be distributed to participants at an upcoming convention sponsored by Lost Mine. Lost Mine has offered to buy 1,900 of the US umbrellas at a price of $15 each. Mohave currently has the excess capacity necessary to accept the offer. The following information is related to the production of the US umbrella:

Direct materials $5
Direct labor 2.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 3.50
Foxed manufacturing overhead 2.50
Total cost $13.00
Regular sales price $19.00

Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Profit = $8,550

Explanation:

The computation of incremental profit (or loss) is shown below:-

Variable cost per unit = Direct material + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead

= $5 + $2 + $3.50

= $10.50

Incremental profit per unit = $15 - $10.50

= $4.5

Incremental profit = Incremental profit per unit × US umbrella

= $4.5 × 1,900

= $8,550
