Fuller Company makes frames. A customer wants to place a special order for 600 frames in green with the company logo painted on the frame, to be priced at $40 each. Normally, Fuller would charge $90 per frame for this type of order. Fuller figures that wood and glass will cost $16 per frame, variable overhead (machining, electricity) is $4 per frame, direct labor is $12 per frame, and one setup will be required at $1,000 per setup. The set-up charge costs are 100% labor. Currently, the workers needed to set up for and make the frames are working at Fuller. Their wages will be paid whether or not the special order is accepted. Fuller's policy is to avoid layoffs to the extent possible.

Which costs of the special order relate to flexible resources?

These costs of the special order relate to flexible resources: wood, glass, and variable overhead

Explanation:

The amount of wood is a function of the production, which is variable by definition. As evident, the wood is a variable cost, altogether with the variable overhead and the glass.
