Chaz Hansen · Answer 1

Selling price = $300

Explanation:

The bulk order will not increase the total fixed cost of Walton Corporation, but it is important that the company covers its total relevant cost. The relevant cost of the decsio to supply the bulk order are all the future cash flows that arise as a result of supplying the bullk order.

The only relevant cost for the bulk order is the variable cost.

So we calculate the selling price as follows:

Step 1

Calculate the relevant cost of the bulk order

= $200 * 40

= $8,000

Step 2

Calculate the total revenue

Total revenue = Total relevant cost + Target profit

= 8,000 + 4,000

=$12,000

Step 3

Determine the selling price

Selling price = $12,000/40

= $300

Selling price = $300
