Figure 13-1. 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.
