Explanation:

Alpha = $225

Beta = $175

total production capacity = 130,000 pounds

raw materials = $6 per pound

Production costs per unit                        Alpha                Beta

direct materials                                          $42                   $24

direct labor                                                 $42                   $32

variable manufacturing overhead            $26                   $24  

fixed manufacturing overhead                 $34                   $37

variable selling expenses                         $31                    $27

common fixed expenses                          $34                   $29  

total cost per unit                                    $209                 $173

Cane expects to sell 114,000 Alphas.

Net profit = (114,000 x $225) - (114,000 x $209) = $25,650,000 - $23,826,000 = $1,824,000

If the new sales order is accepted, Cane's revenue will increase to:

Their total cost will by:

*This sale increases the output, but previous costs cannot be avoided.

Net profit with special order = $27,249,000 - $26,626,000 = $623,000

The special order should be rejected since it decreases net profit.
