Global Chemical Company, located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, recently received an order for a product
it does not normally produce. Since the company has excess production capacity, management is
considering accepting the order. In analyzing the decision, the assistant controller is compiling the
relevant costs of producing the order. Production of the special order would require 9,400 kilograms of
theolite. Global does not use theolite for its regular product, but the firm has 9,400 kilograms of the
chemical on hand from the days when it used theolite regularly. The theolite could be sold to a chemical
wholesaler for 15,300 p. The book value of the theolite is 3.70 p per kilogram. Global could buy theolite
for 4.10 p per kilogram. (p denotes the peso, Argentina's national monetary unit. Many countries use the
peso as their unit of currency. On the day this exercise was written, Argentina's peso was worth .1891
U.S. dollars.)

Martinez, Inc., is a small firm involved in the production and sale of electronic business products. The
company is well known for its attention to quality and innovation.
During the past 15 months, a new product has been under development that allows users handheld
access to e-mail and video images. Martinez named the product the Wireless Wizard and has been
quietly designing two models: Standard and Enhanced. Development costs have amounted to $196,500
and $277,500, respectively. The total market demand for each model is expected to be 50,000 units, and
management anticipates being able to obtain the following market shares: Standard, 20 percent;
Enhanced, 15 percent. Forecasted data follow.
Standard Enhanced
Projected selling price $ 395.00 $ 495.00
Production costs per unit:
Direct material 52.00 82.50
Direct labor 27.50 40.00
Variable overhead 46.00 58.00
Marketing and advertising per product line 205,000 350,000
Sales salaries per product line 90,500 90,500
Sales commissions* 10 % 10 %
*Computed on the basis of sales dollars.
Since the start of development work on the Wireless Wizard, advances in technology have altered the
market somewhat, and management now believes that the company can introduce only one of the two
models. Consultants confirmed this fact not too long ago, with Martinez paying $35,500 for an in-depth
market study. The total fixed overhead is expected to be the same regardless of which product is
manufactured.
