Miyamoto Jewelers is considering a special order for 10 handcrafted gold
bracelets to be given as gifts to members of a wedding party. The normal
selling price of a gold bracelet is $389.95 and its unit product cost is
$264.00 as shown below:
Materials $143
Direct Labor 86
Manufacturing overhead 35
Unit product cost 264
Most of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations
in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $7 of the
overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced.
The customer who is interested in the special bracelet order would like
special filigree applied to the bracelets. This filigree would require
additional materials costing $6 per bracelets and would also require
acquisition of a special tool costing $465 that would have no other use
once special order is completed. This order would have no effect on the
company’s regular sales and the order could be fulfilled using the
company’s existing capacity without affecting any other order.
Required:
What effect would accepting this order have on the company’s pretax
income is a special price of $349.95 is offered per bracelet for this
order? Should the special order be accepted at this price?
