Explanation / Answer

Total Variable costs : direct materials 40,000 direct labor 70,000 variable mfg OH 50,000 ------------------------------- Total Var Cost = $160,000 for 20000 units So pu VC = $160,000/20,000 = $8 .................(A) So COnt pu = SP pu - VC pu = $12-$8 = $4 pu. SO Total Cont from 20000 units = 20000*$4 = $80,000 Less Fixed cost $30000 ----------------------------- Net Income $50,000 WIth New Order of 1500 units, SP pu = $11.50 & Var cost pu = $8 +$0.25 = $8.25 So Cont pu from new order = 11.50 - 8.25 = $3.25 So Total Cont from 1500 units = 1500*$3.25 = $4,875 So Incremental profit from this Spl order is $4875
