a. Prepare a differential analysis dated March 16 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order. If required, round your answers to two decimal places. If an amount is zero, enter "0".

Differential Analysis
Reject Order (Alt. 1) or Accept Order (Alt. 2)
March 16
	Reject Order (Alternative 1)	Accept Order (Alternative 2)	Differential Effects (Alternative 2)
Revenues, per unit
Costs:
Variable manufacturing costs, per unit
Export tariff, per unit
Profit (loss), per unit

b. Should the special order be rejected (Alternative 1) or accepted (Alternative 2)?

Answer 1

a. Prepare a differential analysis dated March 16 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order. If required, round your answers to two decimal places. If an amount is zero, enter "0".

Differential Analysis
Reject Order (Alt. 1) or Accept Order (Alt. 2)
March 16
	Reject Order (Alternative 1)	Accept Order (Alternative 2)	Differential Effects (Alternative 2)
Revenues, per unit	0	30	30
Costs:
Variable manufacturing costs, per unit	0	-24	-24
Export tariff, per unit	0	30*13% = -3.9	-3.9
Profit (loss), per unit	0	2.1	2.1

b. Should the special order be rejected (Alternative 1) or accepted (Alternative 2)?

Yes, Special order should be accepted
