Additional business in the form of a special order of goods or services should be accepted when the incremental revenue equals the incremental costs.

Lattimer Company had the following results of operations for the past year: A foreign company whose sales will not affect Lattimer's market offers to buy 5,000 units at $7.50 per unit.In addition to existing costs,selling these units would add a $0.25 selling cost for export fees.If Lattimer accepts this additional business,the special order will yield a:

A company inadvertently produced 3,000 defective products.The product cost $15 each to be manufactured and normally sells for $35 each.A salvage company will purchase the defective units as they are for $13 each.The production manager reports that the defects can be corrected for $5 per unit,enabling the company to sell them at a discounted price of $22.00.The repair operations would not affect other production operations.Prepare an analysis that shows which action should be taken.

Good management accounting indicates that projects be evaluated using relevant data.In choosing among alternatives,what factors (considerations)are relevant?

Maxim manufactures a hamster food product called Green Health.Maxim currently has 10,000 bags of Green Health on hand.The variable production costs per bag are $1.80 and total fixed costs are $10,000.The hamster food can be sold as it is for $9.00 per bag or be processed further into Premium Green and Green Deluxe at an additional $2,000 cost.The additional processing will yield 10,000 bags of Premium Green and 3,000 bags of Green Deluxe,which can be sold for $8 and $6 per bag,respectively.The net advantage (incremental income) of processing Green Health further into Premium Green and Green Deluxe would be:
