Question - The Cardinal Company produces T-shirts promoting Otterbein University to various retailers. The costs of producing and selling a single T-shirt at the company's current activity level of 12.000 units per month are:

|
|

The normal selling price is 516 per unit. The company's capacity is 15.000 units per month. Due to Otterbein University participating in the Division III National Championship game, an order has been received from a retailer for 2,000 additional T-shirts at $13 per unit. This order would not affect regular sales and would not change the company's total fixed costs.
Ignore the impact of income taxes in your calculation.
Should the order be accepted? What would be the impact to monthly profits?
