Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell34,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below:UnitTotalDirect materials$ 15510,000272,000102,000170,00068,000Direct labor8Variable manufacturing overheadFixed manufacturing overheadVariable selling expenseFixed selling expense352.6204,000Total cost$ 39$ 1,326,000The Rets normally sell for $44 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is $170,000 per year within the range of 28,000 through 34,000Rets per year.Required:1. Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 28,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retailchain has offered to purchase 6,000 Rets if Polaski is willing to accept a 16% discount off the regular price. There would be no salescommissions on this order; thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75%. However, Polaski Company would have topurchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain's name on the 6,000 units. This machine would cost $12,000. Polaski Companyhas no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units in the future. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) ofaccepting the special order? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)2. Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 28,000 Rets through regular channels next year.The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 6,000 Rets. The Army would pay a fixed fee of $1.40 per Ret, and itwould reimburse Polaski Company for all costs of production (variable and fixed) associated with the units. Because the army wouldpick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order. What is the financialadvantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?3. Assume the same situation as described in (2) above, except that the company expects to sell 34,000 Rets through regular channelsnext year. Thus, accepting the U.S. Army's order would require giving up regular sales of 6,000 Rets. Given this new information, whatis the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?1.2.3.

Remarkable Enterprises requires four units of part A for every unit of Al that it produces. Currently, part A is made by Remarkable, with these per-unit costs in a month when 4,000 units were produced: Variable manufacturing overhead is applied at $1.60 per unit. The other $0.50 of overhead consists of allocated fixed costs. Remarkable will need 8,000 units of part A for the next years production. Altoona Corporation has offered to supply 8,000 units of part A at a price of $8.00 per unit. If Remarkable accepts the offer, all of the variable costs and $2,000 of the fixed costs will be avoided. Should Remarkable accept the offer from Altoona Corporation?
