Special order carson manufacturing, inc., sells a single product for $36 per unit. at an operating level of 8,000 units, variable costs are $18 per unit and fixed costs $10 per unit. carson has been offered a price of $20 per unit on a special order of 2,000 units by big mart discount stores, which would use its own brand name on the item. if carson accepts the order, material cost will be $3 less per unit than for regular production. however, special stamping equipment costing $4,000 would be needed to process the order; the equipment would then be discarded. assuming that volume remains within the relevant range, prepare an analysis of differential revenue and costs to determine whether carson should accept the special order. use a negative sign with answer to only indicate an income loss from special order; otherwise do not use negative signs with your answers.

5. understanding marginal and average tax rates consider the economy of citronia, where citizens consume only oranges. assume that oranges are priced at $1 each. the government has devised the following tax plans: plan a • consumption up to 1,000 oranges is taxed at 50%. • consumption higher than 1,000 oranges is taxed at 20%. plan b • consumption up to 2,000 oranges is taxed at 15%. • consumption higher than 2,000 oranges is taxed at 60%. use the plan a and plan b tax schemes to complete the following table by deriving the marginal and average tax rates under each tax plan at the consumption levels of 300 oranges, 1,200 oranges, and 3,000 oranges, respectively. consumption level plan a plan b (quantity of oranges) marginal tax rate average tax rate marginal tax rate average tax rate (percent) (percent) (percent) (percent) 300 1,200 3,000 complete the following table by indicating whether each plan is a progressive tax system, a proportional tax system, or a regressive tax system. progressive proportional regressive plan a plan b
