Question:

Gruden Company produces golf discs which it normally sells to retailers for $7.19 each. The cost of manufacturing 23,400 golf discs is:

Materials    $12,402
Labor      34,398
Variable overhead      22,698
Fixed overhead       46,800
Total $116,298

Gruden also incurs 4% sales commission ($0.29) on each disc sold.

McGee Corporation offers Gruden $5 per disc for 4,900 discs.

McGee would sell the discs under its own brand name in foreign markets not yet served by Gruden.

If Gruden accepts the offer, its fixed overhead will increase from $46,800 to $51,748 due to the purchase of a new imprinting machine.

No sales commission will result from the special order.
