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. Twenty-five percent of the normal annual overhead costs are fixed at any production level from 350,000 to 500,000 units. The remaining 75% of the annual overhead cost is 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.

Annual operating income received from the new business only (column 2). 3. Combined annual operating income from normal business and the new business (column 3).
