Simpson Company has approached Andreasen with an offer to buy 9,400 thermostats at a price of $60 each. The regular price is $100. Andreasen has the capacity to produce the 9,400 additional units without affecting its current production of 110,000 units. Simpson requires that each unit use its branding, which requires a more expensive label, resulting in an additional $2.00 per unit material cost. The labor cost of affixing the label will be the same as for the current models. The Simpson order will also require a onetime rental of packaging equipment for $34,600. Required: a. Prepare a schedule to show the impact of filling the Simpson order on Andreasen's profits for the year. b. Do you agree with the decision to accept the special order? c. Considering only profit, determine the minimum quantity of thermostats in the special order that would make it profitable, assuming capacity is available. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Prepare a schedule to show the impact of filling the Simpson order on Andreasen's profits for the year. (Enter your answers in thousands rounded to 1 decimal place. (i.e., 5,400,400 should be entered as 5,400.4). Select option "higher" or "lower", keeping Status Quo as the base. Select "none" if there is no effect.)
