problem: Jones Products manufactures & sells to wholesalers approximately 500,000 packages per year of underwater markers at 4 dollar per package. Yearly costs for the production & sale of this quantity are shown in the table.

Direct materials $ 640,000
Direct labor 160,000
Overhead 480,000
Selling expenses 200,000
Administrative expenses 133,000
Total costs and expenses $1,613,000
A new wholesaler has offered to purchase 83,000 packages for $3.44 each. These markers would be marketed under the wholesaler's & and would not affect Jones Products' sales through its normal channels. A study of the costs of this additional business reveals the following:

Direct materials costs are 100 percent variables.

Per unit direct labor costs for the additional units would be 50% higher than normal because their production would require overtime pay at one-and-one-half times the usual labor rate.

30 percent of the normal annual overhead costs are fixed at any production level from 450,000 to 600,000 units. The remaining 70% of the yearly overhead cost is variable with volume.

Accepting new business would involve no additional selling expenses.

Accepting new business would increase administrative expenses by a $4,000 fixed amount.

[A] Yearly operating income without the special order (column 1).
[B] Yearly operating income received from the new business only (column 2).
[C] Combined annual operating income from normal business & new business (column 3).
