Nardin Outfitters has a capacity to produce 20,000 of their special arctic tents per year. The company is currently producing and selling 5,000 tents per year at a selling price of $1,700 per tent. The cost of producing and selling one tent follows:
Variable manufacturing costs $ 600
Fixed manufacturing costs 170
Variable selling and administrative costs 160
Fixed selling and administrative costs 130
Total costs $ 1,060
The company has received a special order for 2,100 tents at a price of $760 per tent from Chipman Outdoor Center. It will not have to pay any sales commission on the special order, so the variable selling and administrative costs would be only $61 per tent. The special order would have no effect on total fixed costs. The company has rejected the offer based on the following computations:
Selling price per case $ 760
Variable manufacturing costs 600
Fixed manufacturing costs 170
Variable selling and administrative costs 61
Fixed selling and administrative costs 130
Net profit (loss) per case $ (201)
Required:
a. What is the impact on profit for the year if Nardin Outfitters accepts the special order?
b. Do you agree with the decision to reject the special order?
