Need help with this one only... BE 24-6 Accept business at a special price

Product A is normally sold for $9.60 per unit. A special price of $7.20 is offered for the export market. The variable production cost is $5.00 per unit. An additional export tariff of 15% of revenue must be paid for all export products. Assume there is sufficient capacity for the special order. Prepare a differential analysis dated March 16 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order.

Below is the rest of the numbers provided. Don't need these solved. Already have done.

BE 24-1 Lease or sell

McFadden Company owns equipment with a cost of $475,000 and accumulated depreciation of $280,000 that can be sold for $175,000, less a 7% sales commission. Alternatively, McFadden Company can lease the equipment for four years for a total of $180,000, at the end of which there is no residual value. In addition, the repair, insurance, and property tax expense that would be incurred by McFadden Company on the equipment would total $35,500 over the four-year lease. Prepare a differential analysis on February 18 as to whether McFadden Company should lease (Alternative 1) or sell (Alternative 2) the equipment.

BE 24-2 Discontinue a segment

Product AG52 has revenue of $748,000, variable cost of goods sold of $640,000, variable selling expenses of $90,000, and fixed costs of $50,000, creating a loss from operations of $32,000. Prepare a differential analysis as of October 7 to determine if Product AG52 should be continued (Alternative 1) or discontinued (Alternative 2), assuming fixed costs are unaffected by the decision.

BE 24-3 Make or buy

A company manufactures various-sized plastic bottles for its medicinal product. The manufacturing cost for small bottles is $75 per unit (100 bottles), including fixed costs of $28 per unit. A proposal is offered to purchase small bottles from an outside source for $40 per unit, plus $4 per unit for freight. Prepare a differential analysis dated July 31 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the bottles, assuming fixed costs are unaffected by the decision.

BE 24-4 Replace equipment

A machine with a book value of $80,000 has an estimated five-year life. A proposal is offered to sell the old machine for $50,500 and replace it with a new machine at a cost of $75,000. The new machine has a five-year life with no residual value. The new machine would reduce annual direct labor costs from $11,200 to $7,400. Prepare a differential analysis dated April 11 on whether to continue with the old machine (Alternative 1) or replace the old machine (Alternative 2).

BE 24-5 Process or sell

Product J19 is produced for $11 per gallon. Product J19 can be sold without additional processing for $18 per gallon, or processed further into Product R33 at an additional cost of $7 per gallon. Product R33 can be sold for $24 per gallon. Prepare a differential analysis dated April 30 on whether to sell Product J19 (Alternative 1) or process further into Product R33 (Alternative 2).

BE 24-6 Accept business at a special price

Product A is normally sold for $9.60 per unit. A special price of $7.20 is offered for the export market. The variable production cost is $5.00 per unit. An additional export tariff of 15% of revenue must be paid for all export products. Assume there is sufficient capacity for the special order. Prepare a differential analysis dated March 16 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order.
