The depreciation charges are for machines used in teh respective product lines. Machines depreciate at the rateof $1 per hour based on hours used, so these are variable costs. In March, cutting and sewing machines are expected to operate for 900 hours, of which 600 hours will be used to make custom dresses. The rent is for the building space, which has been leased for several years at $7,000 per month. The rent, heat, and ligh are allocated to the product lines based on the amount of floor space occupied. A valued customer, who is a wedding consultant, has asked Ms. Nili for a special favor. This customer has a client who wants to get married in early April. Ms. Nili's company is working at capacity and would have to give up some other business to make this dress. She can't renege on custom orders already agreed to, bt she can reduce the number of standard dresses produced in March to 10. Ms. Nili would lose permanently the opportunity to make up the lost production of standard dresses because she has no unused capacity for the foreseeable future. The customer is willing to pay $25,000 for the special order. Materials and labor for the order wil cost $6,000 and $10,000, respectively. The special order would require 140 hours of machine time.Ms. Nili's company would save 150 hours of machine time from the standard dress business given up.
