Respuesta :

Answer:

d. $5,225 profit.

Explanation:

After accepting the offer total sales would be = 183750 (5500*8)

183.750+ 44.000

227.750

Variable cost per unit = 101.250/15.000 = 6.75

So total VC after accepting the order will be = 101.250+ (5.500*6.75)

101.250+ 37.125

138.375.

Income statement after accepting the offer

  • Sales  

227750

  • COGS  

138375

  • Export fee (5500*.30)  

1650

  • Manufacturing cost  

24750

  • selling & admn  

39750

  • Total cost  

204525

  • Income

So earlier the net Income was 18000, now it is 23225

Profit after accepting the order = 23225-18000 = 5225
