shins. The normal selling price of a shirt is $45 and its unit product cost is $36 as shown below: Direct materials $8.00 Direct labor $16.00
Manufacturing overhead $12.00
Unit product cost $36.00 Most of the manufacturing overhead is fixed; however, 30% of it is valiable with respect to the number of shirts
produced. The special order will require customizing the shins for the customer with an additional direct matelials
cost of $5 per shirt and an additional direct labor cost of $4 per shirt. If it accepts this order, Malj ess will have to
