Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 43,000 Rets through regular channels next year. The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 7,000 Rets. The Army would reimburse Polaski for all of the variable and fixed production costs assigned to the units by the company’s absorption costing system, plus it would pay an additional fee of $1.20 per unit. Because the army would pick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?
