Acompany's unit costs based on 100,000 units are: variable costs $75 fixed costs 30 the normal unit sales price per unit is $165. a special order from a foreign company has been received for 5,000 units at $135 a unit. in order to fulfill the order, 3,000 units of regular sales would have to be foregone. the incremental profit (loss) from accepting the order would be a. $30,000. b. $(150,000). c. $180,000. d. $(90,000).

Incremental profit = $30000

so correct option is a. $30,000

Explanation:

given data

Variable costs = $75

Fixed costs = 30

sales price = $165

to find out

incremental profit or loss  from accepting

solution

we get here contribution per unit will be here as

contribution per unit = $165 - $75

contribution per unit = $90

now we get here loss on contribution for giving up regular sale that is

loss on contribution = $3000 × $90

loss on contribution = $270000

and

now we get Incremental contribution for special order will be

Incremental contribution = (135 - 75) × 5000

Incremental contribution = $300000

and

Incremental profit will be  = $300000 - $270000

Incremental profit = $30000

so correct option is a. $30,000

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
