A company received a special one-time order to buy 6,000 of its portable radios for $20. The radios generally sell for $25. Each radio's total manufacturing cost is $21.50, which includes $2.50 of allocated fixed overhead. Should the company accept the special order?

What will be an ideal response?


 

Sale of units (6,000 * $20) $120,000
Cost of the units (6,000 * 19*)(114,000)
Incremental income from the special order $   6,000

*$21.50 - $2.50 = $19
