Exercise 14-37 Special Order (LO 14-4, 14-5) [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Intercontinental's special order requires 1,300 kilograms of genotype, a solid chemical regularly used in the company's products. The current stock of genotype is 9,900 kilograms at a book value of 9.20 p per kilogram. If the special order is accepted, the firm will be forced to restock genatope earlier than expected, at a predicted cost of 9.80 p per kilogram. Without the special order, the purchasing manager predicts that the price will be 9.40 p when normal restocking takes place. Any order of genatope must be in the amount of 6,600 kilograms.

    the relevant cost will also include the differential cost for taking the order as it is related to the order being taken or not.

    Explanation:

    addtional inventory cost:

    6,600 x (9.80 - 9.40) = 2,640

    Cost of good sold

    1,300 x 9.20 = 11,960

    Total cost for the order 14,600
