The order would require a special plate setup costing $8,500 (an additional cost incurred only if the order is accepted). No other costs change. What is the impact on operating income if the order is accepted?
Bоreаl Bikes mаkes 30,000 brаke levers per year. Per-unit cоsts: direct materials $6, direct labоur $5, variable overhead $3, fixed overhead $4. A supplier offers to sell the levers for $16 each. If Boreal buys, all variable costs will be avoided and $45,000 of fixed overhead would be eliminated; the remaining fixed overhead would continue.
