Decision on Accepting Additional Business

Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 247,000 tires. Brightstone presently produces and sells 189,000 tires for the North American market at a price of $93 per tire. Brightstone is evaluating a special order from a European automobile company, Euro Motors. Euro is offering to buy 29,000 tires for $78.15 per tire. Brightstone's accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:

Direct materials $35
Direct labor 13
Factory overhead (70% variable) 21
Selling and administrative expenses (40% variable) 19
Total $88

Brightstone pays a selling commission equal to 5% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $5 per tire. In addition, Euro has made the order conditional on receiving European safety certification. Brightstone estimates that this certification would cost $142,100.
