Talladega Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce
500,000 tires. Talladega presently produces and sells 400,000 tires
for the North American market at a price of $200 per tire.
Talladega is evaluating a special order from a European automobile
company, Autobahn Motors. Autobahn is offering to buy 100,000 tires
for $150 per tire. Talladega's accounting system indicates that the
total cost per tire is as follows:
Direct materials | $75 |
Direct labor | 20 |
Factory overhead (70% variable) | 30 |
Selling and administrative expenses (60% variable) | 18 |
Total | $143 |
Talladega pays a selling commission equal to 3% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $3 per tire. In addition, Autobahn has made the order conditional on receiving European safety certification. Talladega estimates that this certification would cost $400,000.
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated July 31 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Autobahn Motors. If an amount is zero, enter "0". If required, round interim calculations to two decimal places.
