Additional information Andreas has been approached by a new customer wishing to make a special order for 120 bicycles with modifications to the customer’s own specification. In order to complete the order, the following would apply for the manufacture of one bicycle. The total material cost would increase by 30%. The direct labour hours in the machinery department would increase by 50% and an additional 15 minutes of direct labour hours would be required in the assembly department. Due to workers in the assembly department already working at full capacity, these workers would have to work overtime to complete the order at a premium of 25% on the usual direct labour rate. Calculate the direct cost of producing one bicycle for the special order. Additional information In order to remain competitive, Andreas wishes to achieve a 30% gross profit margin on all work. Prepare a statement to show the total selling price that Andreas should quote to the customer in order to achieve a 30% gross profit margin on the order. Additional information Having received the quotation from Andreas, the customer has stated that he will commit to a regular monthly order of 100 of the special bicycles if Andreas will offer a 10% discount on the quoted price and allow 2 months’ credit. Andreas’s business is successful, though managing cash flow is often difficult. Advise Andreas whether he should accept the terms offered by the customer. Justify your answer.
