3. Ries Corporation has received a request for a special order of 8,000 units of product R34 for
$34.20 each. The normal selling price of this product is $35.70 each, but the units would need to
be modified slightly for the customer. The normal unit product cost of product R34 is computed
as follows:
Direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total
fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like some modifications made to
product R34 that would increase the variable costs by $6.30 per unit and that would require a
one-time investment of $40,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special
order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity
for producing the special order.
Determine the effect on the company's total net operating income of accepting the special order.

the month of sale, 30% in the month following the month of sale, and the remaining 10% in the
second month following the month of sale. Accounts receivable on April 1 totaled $520,000
$(100,000 from February's sales and the remainder from March).
