Globe Manufacturing Company has just obtained a request for a special order of 12,000 units to be shipped at the end of the current year at a discount price of $7.00 each. The company has a production capacity of 90,000 units per year. At present, Globe is only selling 80,000 units per year through regular channels at a selling price of $11.00 each.

Fixed manufacturing expenses $1.80
Variable selling and administrative expenses $1.00
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $0.45

Variable selling and administrative expense will drop to $0.30 per unit on the special order units. The special order has to be taken in its entirety. This means that by accepting the special order, Globe will be forced to not sell 2,000 units to its regular customers.
