Question 6 The average total cost of producing Z-12 is $35 per unit. The average variable cost associated with the production of Z-12 is $12 per unit, of which $2 is manufacturing overhead. The normal selling price of Z-12 is $50 per unit. If excess capacity exists, a special order for Z-12 will increase net operating income if it is priced at least:
Question options:
a) $50 per unit.
b) $10 per unit.
c) $35 per unit.
d) $12 per unit.
Question 7 ILF makes 2,000 waterproof mattresses annually to be used in one of its products. The unit cost of the mattresses includes variable costs of $45 and fixed costs of $30.
