    Yes, the order should be accepted

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Annual capacity = 10,000 units

    Used capacity = 80%

    Selling cost of each unit = $50

    Cost of Direct material required per unit = $30

    Direct labor cost = $5

    Manufacturing overhead cost = $10 per unit

    variable cost = 70% of $10 = $7

    Number of units in special order = 1,000

    Now,

    The incremental revenue generated by the special order

    = $44 per unit * 1,000 units

    = $44,000

    Also,

    The incremental cost

    = (direct materials cost + direct labor cost + variable cost) * 1,000 units

    = ($30 + $5 + $7) * 1,000 units

    = $42,000

    incremental net operating income generated = $44,000 - $42,000

    = $2,000

    Since,

    the net operating income is positive the order should be accepted
