How would accepting the order affect Arthur White's operating income?

In addition to the special order's effect onprofits, what other (longer-term qualitative) factors should Arthur White's managers consider in deciding whether to accept theorder?

The most important qualitative factors which cannot be measured in $ are:

In this case, the only two factors that could be affected are the investors which will be happy to earn more money and customers which might consider making special orders only. In this case, the special order is feasible because the company has a lot of spare capacity, but what would happen in the future if there is no spare capacity and more customers want to place special orders?

Prepare an incremental analysis to determine the special order's effect on operating income.

Explanation:

production costs per unit:

sales price $151

special order 22,000 pairs at $62:

since the company has idle capacity, no fixed manufacturing costs nor any variable marketing expenses

total cost per unit = $78 - $16 - $4 = $58

special order's contribution margin = $62 - $58 = $4 x 22,000 = $88,000
