Question: Problem 1 1 - 3 3 and 1 1 - 3 4 ( Algo ) Special Order; ABC Costing [ LO 1 1 - 2

Problem 11-33 and 11-34(Algo) Special Order; ABC Costing [LO 11-2,11-8] Skip to question [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Green Grow Incorporated (GGI) manufactures lawn fertilizer. Because of the products very high quality, GGI often receives special orders from agricultural research groups. For each type of fertilizer sold, each bag is carefully filled to have the precise mix of components advertised for that type of fertilizer. GGIs operating capacity is 39,000 one-hundred-pound bags per month, and it currently is selling 37,000 bags manufactured in 37 batches of 1,000 bags each. The firm just received a request for a special order of 8,400 one-hundred-pound bags of fertilizer for $280,000 from APAC, a research organization. The production costs would be the same, but there would be no variable selling costs. Delivery and other packaging and distribution services would cause a one-time $4,800 cost for GGI. The special order would be processed in two batches of 4,200 bags each. (No incremental batch-level costs are anticipated. Most of the batch-level costs in this case are short-term fixed costs, such as salaries and depreciation.) The following information is provided about GGIs current operations: Sales and production cost data for 37,000 bags, per bag:Sales price$ 52Variable manufacturing costs35Variable selling costs2Fixed manufacturing costs10Fixed marketing costs3 No marketing costs would be associated with the special order. Because the order would be used in research and consistency is critical, APAC requires that GGI fill the entire order of 8,400 bags. Assume that the $10.00 fixed manufacturing overhead cost per unit consists of facility-level costs ($7.00 per unit at the 37,000-unit output level), with the remainder being setup-related (i.e., batch-level) costs. Assume that the setup-related costs increase in total with the number of batches produced and that the facility-level fixed costs do not vary in total, with either the number of units produced or the number of batches produced during a period. Part 1(Algo) Required: What is the total relevant cost of filling this special sales order? What would be the change in operating income if the special order is accepted? What is the breakeven selling price per unit for the special sales order (i.e., what is the selling price that would result in a zero effect on operating income)? Prepare comparative income statements, using the contribution format, for both the current situation and assuming the special order is accepted at the breakeven price determined in requirement 3.
