Question: Special Order Decision
Kneller Co. manufactures and sells medals for winners of athletic and other events. Its manufacturing plant has the
capacity to produce 23,000 medals each month; current monthly production is 10,000 medals. The company
normally charges $82 per medal. Cost data for the current level of production are shown below:

Direct materials 397,500
Direct labor 127,200
Selling and administrative 20,600

Selling and administrative 65,000
The company has just received a special one-time order for 400 medals at $63 each. For this particular order, no
variable selling and administrative costs would be incurred. This order would also have no effect on fixed costs.
However, for this special one-time order a specific cutter machine to emboss logo will be required which may be
rented for $ 1500 for required period. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost.
