Larkin Company produces golf discs which it normally sells to retailers for $6 each. The cost of manufacturing 25000 golf
discs is:
Materials
$ 10000
Labor
30000
Variable overhead
20000
Fixed overhead
40000
Total
$100000
Innova also incurs 5% sales commission ($0.30) on each disc sold.
Rudd Corporation offers Larkin $4.25 per disc for 5000 discs. Rudd would sell the discs under its own brand name in foreign
markets not yet served by Larkin. If Larkin accepts the offer its fixed overhead will increase from $40000 to $45000 due to the purchase of
a new imprinting machine. No sales commission will result from the special order.
