In July, normally a slack manufacturing month, ShurShot Sports receives a special order for 10,800 basketballs at $27 each from the Greek Basketball Association (GBA). Acceptance of the order would increase variable selling and administrative expenses $0.52 per unit because of shipping costs but would not increase fixed costs and expenses.
Required:
1. Prepare an incremental analysis for the special order.
2. Should ShurShot Sports Inc. accept the special order?
3. What is the minimum selling price on the special order to produce net income of $4.10 per ball?
