Mohave Corp. makes several varieties of beach umbrellas and accessories. It has been approached by a company called Lost Mine Industries about producing a special order for a custom umbrella called the Ultimate Shade (US). The special-order umbrellas with the Lost Mine Company logo would be distributed to participants at an upcoming convention sponsored by Lost Mine.

Lost Mine has offered to buy 1,500 of the US umbrellas at a price of $11 each. Mohave currently has the excess capacity necessary to accept the offer. The following information is related to the production of the US umbrella:

Direct materials $5.00
Direct labor 2.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 3.50
Fixed manufacturing overhead 2.50
Total cost $13.00
Regular sales price $19.00

Required:

1. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order.
2. Should Mohave accept the special order?
3. Suppose that the special order had been to purchase 2,000 umbrellas for $9.00 each. Recompute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order under this scenario.
4. Assume that Mohave is operating at full capacity. Calculate the special-order price per unit at which Mohave would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order.

Aprice ceiling is â€śbindingâ€ť if the price ceiling is set below the equilibrium price. suppose that the equilibrium price is $5. if a price ceiling is set at $6, this will not affect the market in any way since $5 remains a legally allowable price (since $5 < $6). a price ceiling of $6 is called a â€śnon-bindingâ€ť price ceiling. on the other hand, if the price ceiling is set at $4, the price ceiling is â€śbindingâ€ť because the natural equilibrium price is $5 but that is no longer allowed. what happens when there is a binding price ceiling? at a price below the equilibrium price, quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. there is a shortage. normally, price increases eliminate shortages by increasing quantity supplied and decreasing quantity demanded. in this case, however, price increases are not allowed past the price ceiling. we therefore predict that the observed market price will be right at the price ceiling and there will be a permanent shortage. the observed quantity bought and sold will be dictated by the quantity supplied at the price ceiling. although consumers would like to buy more, there are no more units for sale
