Bluebird Mfg

Business May 13, 2021

Bluebird Mfg. has received a special one-time order for 15,000 bird feeders at $3 per unit. Bluebird currently produces and sells 75,000 units at $7.00 each. This level represents 80% of its capacity. These bird feeders would be marketed under the wholesaler's name and would not affect Bluebird's sales through its normal channels. Production costs for these units are $3.50 per unit, which includes $2.25 variable cost and $1.25 fixed cost. If Bluebird accepts this additional business, the incremental cost will be:

A) $45,000.

B) $11,250.

C) $38,750.

D) $7,500.

E) $33,750.

 

Expert Solution

Answer:

Option B - $11250

Step-by-step explanation

Answer -

Option B - 11250

W.N. 1 - Current Production = 75000 units

Current Capacity Utilization = 80%

Therefore,

Actual full Capacity = 75000 / 80%

= 93750

 

W.n.2

New order of 15000 units shall not increase fixed cost only variable cost per unit will be incurred.

 

Sales ( 15000 × $3) = $45000

Less Variable Cost = $ 33750

( 15000 × 2.25)

Net Income =$ 11250
