A foreign company (whose sales will not affect Trescott's market) offers to buy 3,000 units at $17.00 per unit. In addition to the variable manufacturing costs, selling these units would increase fixed overhead by $500 and selling and administrative costs by $1,000. If Trescott accepts the offer, its profits will increase (decrease) by:

Answer : If Cornish accepts this order, its profits will increase by $13,500.

Calculation of Variable Costs per unit :

Direct Material and labor per unit = Total Direct Material and labor / No. of units sold

Direct Material and labor per unit =200000/20000 = $10

Variable Overhead per unit = Total Variable Overhead / No. of units sold

Variable Overhead per unit = (100000*0.4)/20000 = $2

Variable Cost per unit = $12 (Direct Material and labor per unit + Variable Overhead per unit)

Selling price of new order = $17 per unit

No. of units = 3,000

Increase in Fixed Costs = Inc in fixed overhead + inc in S&A Expenses

Increase in Fixed Costs = $1500 (500 + 1000)

Total Cost of new order = (Variable Cost per unit * No. of units) + Increased Fixed Cost

Total Cost of new order = (12*3000) + 1500 = $37,500

Total Revenues from new order = Selling price per unit * No. of units sold

Total Revenues = $51,000 (17 *3,000)

Profit from new order = Total Revenues from new order - Total Cost of new order

Profit from new order = 51000 - 37500 = $13,500
