Mission Electronics manufactures and sells basic DVD players for sale under various generic store...
Question:
Mission Electronics manufactures and sells basic DVD players for sale under various generic store brand names. The cost of one of their models follows:
| Materials | $19.90 |
| Labor | 13.90 |
| Variable overhead | 6.90 |
| Fixed overhead ($3,705,100 per year; 469,000 units per year) | 7.90 |
| Total | $48.60 |
Pacific Cash & Carry, a chain of low-price electronic sales and rental outlets, has asked Mission to supply them with 38,000 players for a special promotion Pacific is planning. Pacific has offered to pay Mission a unit price of $54 per DVD player. The regular selling price is $79. The special order would require some modification to the basic model. These modifications would add $5.90 per unit in material cost, $3.40 per unit in labor cost, and $2.40 in variable overhead cost. Although Mission has the capacity to produce 38,000 units without affecting its regular production of 469,000 units, a one-time rental of special testing equipment to meet Pacific's requirements would be needed. The equipment rental would be $68,800 and would allow Mission to test up to 69,000 units.
a. Prepare a schedule to show the impact of filling the Pacific order on Mission's profits for the year.
| Status Quo 469,000 Units | Alternative 507,000 Units | Difference | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales Revenue | |||
| Less variable costs | |||
| Materials | |||
| Labor | |||
| Variable overhead | |||
| Total variable cost | |||
| Contribution margin | |||
| Less fixed costs Operating profit(loss) |
b. From an operating profit perspective for the current year, should Mission accept the order?
Yes/No
c. What is the minimum quantity of DVD players in the special order that would make it profitable?
