Question - Jones Products manufactures and sells to wholesalers approximately 300,000 packages per year of underwater markers at $3.86 per package. Annual costs for the production and sale of this quantity are shown in the table.

Direct materials $384,000

Direct labor 96,000

Overhead 288,000

Selling expenses 120,000

Administrative expenses 80,000

Total costs and expenses $968,000

A new wholesaler has offered to buy 50,000 packages for $3.40 each. These markers would be marketed under the wholesaler's name and would not affect Jones Products's sales through its normal channels. A study of the costs of this additional business reveals the following:

Direct materials costs are 100% variable.

Per unit direct labor costs for the additional units would be 50% higher than normal because their production would require overtime pay at 1½ times the usual labor rate.

20% of the normal annual overhead costs are fixed at any production level from 250,000 to 400,000 units. The remaining 80% of the annual overhead costs are variable with volume.

Accepting the new business would involve no additional selling expenses.

Accepting the new business would increase administrative expenses by a $5,000 fixed amount.

Required - Complete the three-column comparative income statement that shows the following:

1. Annual operating income without the special order.

2. Annual operating income received from the new business only.

3. Combined annual operating income from normal business and the new business.
