Dimitri Designs has capacity to produce 30,000 desk chairs per year and is currently selling all 30,000 for $240 each. Country Enterprises has approached Dimitri to buy 800 chairs for $210 each. Dimitris normal variable cost is $165 per chair, including $50 per unit in direct labor per chair. Dimitri can produce the special order on an overtime shift, which means that direct labor would be paid overtime at 150% of the normal pay rate. The annual fixed costs will be unaffected by the special order and the contract will not disrupt any of Dimitris other operations. What will be the impact on profits of accepting the order?

It is Jan 1, 2022 and Jasmine is evaluating her financial results from last year. She sold one product for $60 each and sold 1,500 units. Her variable costs totaled $60,000, while fixed costs worked out to $10 per unit. Jasmine is considering buying new equipment which would lower her per-unit variable cost by one-quarter. However, her fixed costs would double. In this situation, she would increase prices by $5 per unit and she projects that her sales total will drop by 10%. Give Jasmine some business advice, including break-even analysis and margin of safety. Explain the changes in Jasmine’s CVP graph when transitioning from the first to the second scenario
