Sheffield Company manufactures outdoor fireplaces. For the first 9 months of 2020, the company reported the following operating
results while operating at 80% of plant capacity:
Cost of goods sold was 80% variable and 20% fixed; operating expenses were 70% variable and 30% fixed.
In October, Sheffield Company receives a special order for 4,100 fireplaces at $63 each from Langston's Landscape Company.
Acceptance of the order would result in an additional $6,300 of shipping costs but no increase in fixed operating expenses.
Before Sheffield could give Langston's Landscape Company an answer, the company received a special order from Benson
Building & Supply for 16,500 fireplaces. Benson is willing to pay $66 per fireplace but it wants a special design imbedded into the
fireplace that increases cost of goods sold by $67,650. The special design also requires the purchase of a part that costs $5,200
and will have no future use for Sheffield Company. Benson Building & Supply will pick up the fireplaces so no shipping costs are
involved. Due to capacity limitations, Sheffield cannot accept both special orders. Which order should be accepted? Document
your decision by preparing an incremental analysis for Benson's order. (Enter loss using either a negative sign preceding the number
e.g.-2,945 or parentheses e.g.(2,945).)
