Question

Wear Company is operating at 70% of its manufacturing capacity of 78,000 product units per year. A customer has offered to buy an additional 18,000 units at $41 each and sell them outside the country so as not to compete with Wear Company. The following data are available:

Costs at 70% Capacity: Per Unit Total
Direct materials $28.00 $1,528,800
Direct labor 00 163,800
Overhead (fixed and variable) 7.00 382,200
Totals $38.00 $2,074,800

In producing 18,000 additional units fixed overhead costs would remain at their current level but incremental variable overhead costs of $1.28 per unit would be incurred. What is the effect on total income if Wear Company accepts this order?
