Answer #1

Since there is excess capacity, impact on operating income = Revenue from special order - Variable cost of special order

= 4400 - 170*10

= $2,700

i.e. Operating income will increase by $2,700

a-2 Yes, should accept

b-1 Opportunity cost is the contribution margin lost on regular sales

= (500-170)*10

= $3,300

b-2 Effect on operating Income = 2700-3300

= -$600

No, should not accept
