Silver Lake Cabinets is approached by Ms. Jenny Zhang, a new customer, to fulfill a large one-time-only special order for a product similar to one offered to regular customers. The following per unit data apply for sales to regular customers:

   Direct materials   $100
   Direct labour   125
   Variable manufacturing support   60
   Fixed manufacturing support   75
      Total manufacturing costs   $360
   Markup (60%)   216
   Targeted selling price   $576

Silver Lake Cabinets has excess capacity. Ms. Zhang wants the cabinets in cherry rather than oak, so direct material costs will increase by $30 per unit.

Required:
a.   For Silver Lake Cabinets, what is the minimum acceptable price of this one-time-only special order?
b.   Other than price, what other items should Silver Lake Cabinets consider before accepting this one-time-only special order?
c.   How would the analysis differ if there was limited capacity?

a.   $315 = Variable costs ($100 + $125 + $60) + $30 additional cost for cherry.
b.   Silver Lake Cabinets should also consider the impact on current customers when these customers hear that another customer was offered a discounted price, and the impact on the competition and if they might choose to meet the discounted price.
c.   Currently, the incremental costs total $315. If additional capacity is needed to process this order, these incremental costs will increase by the cost of adding capacity.
