Smooth Move Company makes paperweights. A new customer asks whether Smooth Move will accept a special order for 15,000 paperweights at a price of $7.00 per paperweight. The new customer is geographically separated from current customers, so regular sales will not be affected. Smooth Move has excess capacity this year. It's current unit costs are: Direct Materials Direct Labor Variable Overhead Fixed Overhead 3.30 2.25 1.15 1.80 At the last minute, the customer asks for the paperweights to bear a special logo, and Smooth Move must purchase a labeling machine for $12,000. The labeling machine will be used up after producing 15,000 paperweights, so there is no salvage value for the machine. There will be $0.20 extra material cost.
