Question

Gruden Company produces golf discs which it normally sells to retailers for $ 7 each. The cost of manufacturing 16,700 golf discs is:

Materials		$   8,350
Labor		24,883
Variable overhead		17,702
Fixed overhead		32,899
Total		$ 83,834

Gruden also incurs 6% sales commission ($ 0.41) on each disc sold.

McGee Corporation offers Gruden $ 4.82 per disc for 5,110 discs. McGee would sell the discs under its own brand name in foreign markets not yet served by Gruden. If Gruden accepts the offer, its fixed overhead will increase from $ 32,899 to $ 38,779 due to the purchase of a new imprinting machine. No sales commission will result from the special order.
