Curtis Cap Company manufactures and sells ball caps with a special logo on the back of the cap that it has copyrighted. Curtis sells its caps through many retail outlets and it has a set price of $21.00. Recently, the National Football League (NFL) has approached Curtis with an offer to purchase 10,000 caps for $170,000 for this year's NFL Superbowl . The NFL caps require the use of NFL's own logo and will cause Curtis to purchase a special machine and set-up costing $10,000 with no apparent future use or value (the machine imprints the 2011 championship winning team logo). Curtis cost structure for the production of its caps is as follows: Direct material: $7.00 Direct labor:....$2.00 Manufacturing Overhead: $8.00 In addition to the costs above, the special logo application will cost $2.00 per cap. Due to the fact that the an existing contract negotiation with Capital Caps Inc (a fierce competitor of Curtis Cap) has forced the NFL to cancel that deal, the NFL has requested expedited delivery costing another $1.00 per cap. While most of the Manufacturing Overhead is fixed, Variable Overhead is estimated at $3.00 per cap. It is expected that this order can be fulfilled within the existing capacity of Curtis Cap Company and will not affect existing sales.
