Question

Visburg Concrete Company pours concrete slabs for single-family dwellings. Lancing Construction Company, which operates outside Visburg's normal sales territory, asks Visburg to pour 40 slabs for Lancing's new development of homes. Visburg has the capacity to build 300 slabs and is presently working on 250 of them. Lancing is willing to pay only $3, 300 per slab. Visburg estimates the cost of a typical job to include unit-level materials, $1, 440: unit-level labor, $720: and an allocated portion of facility-level overhead, $1, 200.

Required:
Calculate the contribution to profit from the special order. Should Visburg accept or reject the special order to pour 40 slabs for $3, 300 each?

Answer 1

Answer:

$45,600 and yes

Explanation:

The computation of the contribution to profit from the special order is shown below:

= Sales revenue - Material cost - Labor cost

where,

Sales revenue = $3,300 × 40 slabs  = $132,000

Material cost = $1,440 × 40 slabs  = $57,600

Labor cost = = $7200 × 40 slabs  = $28,800

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $132,000 - $57,600 - $28,800

= $45,600

The material and labor cost is a variable cost and the same is taken in the computation part

So, it should accept the special order
