Mr. Cifer wants the cabinets in cherry rather than oak, so direct material costs will increase by $66 per unit. The average marketing cost of Kitchens Sales product is $173 per order.

    1. Is it an order outside normal market.

    2. other orders at the going price.

    Explanation:

    Decision making in managerial accounting should focus on both the quantitative (dollars) and qualitative (other factors) effects of a decision.

    Kitchens Sales Inc. should also consider if it is an order outside the normal market for cherry cabinets. Reducing prices in Normal Market in an attempt to unload spare capacity may lead to a fall in market price.

    Also they should consider if accepting the special order may prevent company from accepting other orders that may be obtained during the period at the going price.
