Ответ:
Because there is unused capacity, and the effect on income is positive, the offer should be accepted.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Lost Mine has offered to buy 2,900 of the US umbrellas for $27 each.
Production costs:
Direct materials $ 12.00
Direct labor 6.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 8.00
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.
Unitary production cost= $26
Net effect on income= 2,900*(27 - 26)
Net effect on income= $2,900 increase
Because there is unused capacity, and the effect on income is positive, the offer should be accepted.
