Description

Miramar Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 250,000 tires. Miramar presently produces and sells 200,000 tires for the North American market at a price of $40 per tire. Miramar is evaluating a special order from a South American automobile company, Rio Motors. Rio Motors is offering to buy 40,000 tires for $20 per tire. Miramar’s accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:

Miramar pays a selling commission equal to 4% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $1.50 per tire. In addition, Rio has made the order conditional on Miramar Tire Company receiving a Brazilian safety certification. Rio estimates that this certification would cost Miramar Tire $20,000.

When required, round all per unit answers to nearest cent. Enter all amounts as positive numbers.
Direct Materials 10.00
Direct Labor 5.00
fact overhead(45% variable) 4.00
Selling and Admin expens (75% var) 3.00
Total 22.00

I just need to know how the 18.95 for the variable special product cost was received.
