Special Order Decision
Lancaster Lighting Corp. produces a model of outdoor floodlight that normally sells for $15 per light. Sales per year are 500,000 units, and the production line
is operating at 70% capacity. Lancaster has been presented with a special one-time export order for 40,000 lights at $11 per light. The $11 price is below
the current total cost of production. Listed below are the costs based on the production of 500,000 units. There would be no increase in fixed costs by accepting
this order, but there would be a one-time crating expense of $5,000. The special order would have no effect on the existing business because it is being exported
to a market that Lancaster does not normally serve. Prepare an incremental analysis and determine the effect of accepting the special order. Should Lancaster
accept this order?
Costs at 500,000 units of production:
  Direct labor                  2,500,000
  Direct materials                  1,750,000
  Variable manufacturing overhead                      625,000
  Fixed manufacturing overhead                  1,250,000
Total manufacturing cost                  6,125,000
ANALYSIS:
Make-Versus-Buy Decision
Sports Equipment Unlimited makes and sells soccer goals and has sales of 20,000 units per year. The plant is operating at full capacity.
A potential supplier has approached Sports Equipment Unlimited and offered to supply the soccer goals at a finished cost of $31.50
per goal. If the company buys rather than manufactures, they will be able to eliminate 60% of fixed manufacturing costs by leasing
unused space. The current costs are as follows:
Per Unit
  Direct labor                   200,000                   10.00
  Direct materials                   247,000                   12.35
  Variable manufacturing overhead                      60,000                     3.00
  Fixed manufacturing overhead                   170,000                     8.50
Total manufacturing cost                   677,000                   33.85
INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare an incremental analysis for the decisions to make or buy the soccer goals.
Show the cost of continuing to make and to buy the goals. Show the effect on net
income if they buy. Should Sports Equipment Unlimited buy the goals?
