Labor

30,000

Variable overhead

20,000

Fixed overhead

40,000

Total

$100,000

Innova also incurs 5% sales commission ($0.30) on each disc sold.

Rudd Corporation offers Larkin $4.25 per disc for 5,000 discs. Rudd would sell the discs under its own brand name in foreign markets not yet served by Larkin. If Larkin accepts the offer, its fixed overhead will increase from $40,000 to $45,000 due to the purchase of a new imprinting machine. No sales commission will result from the special order.
