    Solution and Explanation:

    The data of SAG of special order is given below:

    Cost per unit = $3.50, Allocated fix cost = $1.50, Number of units in order = 15000

    Calculated the total cost of the special order as follows:

    Incremental cost per unit = Cost per unit-Allocated fix cost = $ (3.50 minus 1.50) = $2

    Incremental cost per unit=cost per unit-allocated fix cost = $ (3.50 minus1.50) = $2

    Total incremental cost 15000 unit = number of units in order x Incremental cost per unit = 15000 multiply $2 = $30000

    Therefore, total cost of the special order is $30000

    b) Offering price by ETU = $35000. Hence, the offer made by ETU would affect the short term of the special order.

    Contribution cost = $ (35000 minus 30000) = $5000
