Question: Problem 1 1 - 3 3 and 1 1 - 3 4 ( Algo ) Special Order; ABC Costing [ LO 1 1 - 2
Problem and Algo Special Order; ABC Costing LO 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 onehundredpound bags per month, and it currently is selling bags manufactured in batches of bags each. The firm just received a request for a special order of onehundredpound bags of fertilizer for $ 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 onetime $ cost for GGI. The special order would be processed in two batches of bags each. No incremental batchlevel costs are anticipated. Most of the batchlevel costs in this case are shortterm fixed costs, such as salaries and depreciation. The following information is provided about GGIs current operations: Sales and production cost data for bags, per bag:Sales price$ Variable manufacturing costsVariable selling costsFixed manufacturing costsFixed marketing costs 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 bags. Assume that the $ fixed manufacturing overhead cost per unit consists of facilitylevel costs $ per unit at the unit output level with the remainder being setuprelated ie batchlevel costs. Assume that the setuprelated costs increase in total with the number of batches produced and that the facilitylevel fixed costs do not vary in total, with either the number of units produced or the number of batches produced during a period. Part 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 ie 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
