There are a number of individual decisions covered in this week's material.  One is incremental analysis.  The problem below is an example of this.  The only things that are different in the various scenarios are sales dollars and variable costs.  Since fixed costs are fixed, they have no impact on the decision.  So, as long as the additional units can be sold at a price higher than the variable cost, the order will increase net income.

Your company produces 10,000 units which is 80% of capacity and its normal

selling price is $25/unit.

 

 

 

 

The following cost data are provided at 10,000 units:

 

 

 

Variable cost per unit
