question archive Summer Corp produces high end swimming pool floats
Subject:AccountingPrice: Bought3
Summer Corp produces high end swimming pool floats. The Floater 5000 sells
for $300. Summer produces and sells 6,000 of them per year. Cost data are as follows:
Variable manufacturing $120 per unit
Variable selling and administrative $19 per unit
Fixed manufacturing $390,000 per year
Fixed selling and administrative $175,000 per year
Pools R Us has asked Summer Corp to produce 50 units at a special price of $240 per unit for a one-time only sale. The sale will not negatively impact the company's regular sales activities and will require the normal variable manufacturing costs and selling and administrative costs.
There is plenty of excess capacity and the deal will not impact fixed costs.
