Rainy days Company manufactures designer umbrellas. Each line of umbrellas is endorsed by a high-profile celebrity and designed with special elements selected by the celebrity.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Operating capacity (80%) = 96,000 units

100% capacity = 120,000 units (96,000/0.8)

Sales revenue                 $960,000

Cost of goods sold            492,000

Gross profit                      $468,000

Operating expenses           36,000

Net operating income    $432,000

At full capacity, price for the special order:

Cost of goods sold:

Variable costs (80%)             $82,000

Fixed costs (20%)                    98,400

Total cost of goods sold        180,400  

Operating expenses               60,000  

Total cost of special order $240,400

Units of the special order      20,000

Unit cost =                               $12.02

Net income margin (45%)          5.41

Total price to charge              $17.43

b) The full fixed cost was charged for the special order if Rainy days Company operates at full capacity before receiving the special order.  Fixed cost does not vary according to the level of activity.  It has a step-cost feature, which means that to increase capacity by 20,000 units, the company will incur additional fixed cost $98,400.
