Wade Company is operating at 75% of its manufacturing capacity of 140,000 product units per year. A customer has offered to buy an additional 20,000 units at $32 each and sell them outside the country so as not to compete with Wade. The following data are available: Costs at 750% capacity: Per Unit $12.00 $1.260,000 Total Direct materials Direct labor 945.000 9.00 1.575,000 $36,00 $3.780,000 Overhead (fixed and variable) Totals 15.00 In producing 20,000 additional units, fixed overhead costs would remain at their current level but incremental variable overhead costs of $6 per unit would be incurred. What is the effect on income if Wade accepts this order? Income will decrease by $4 per unit. Income will increase by $4 per unit. Income will increase by $5 per unit. Income will decrease by $5 per unit. Income will increase by $11 per unit.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Income will increase by $5 per unit

Explanation:

The income effect in case of the order accepted is presented below:

As we know that

Additional sales per unit $32

Direct material per unit $12

Direct labor per unit $9

And, the incremental variable overhead cost is $6 per unit

Since the fixed cost is the same so it does not affect the effect on income

So, the income effect would be

= $32 - $12 - $9 - $6

= $5 per unit

Since the answer comes in positive which means there is an increase in income
