Question

At the end of the year, a company offered to buy 4,570 units of a product from X Company for a special price of $11.00 each instead of the company's regular price of $17.00 each. The following information relates to the 67,100 units of the product that X Company made and sold to its regular customers during the year:


Fixed cost of goods sold for the year were $122,122, and fixed period costs were $91,256. Variable period costs include selling commissions equal to 4% of revenue.

Assume the following two changes for the special order: 1) variable cost of goods sold will increase by $0.88 per unit, and 2) there will be no selling commissions. What will be the effect of these two changes on the special order profit? (13801.4 IS NOT THE CORRECT ANSWER)

Per-Unit Total      Cost of goods sold $8.36    $560,956    Period costs 2.60    174,460    Total $10.96    $735,416
