Answer:

Contribution from special order $18,600

Explanation:

The relevant cash flows associated with the special order decision include:

  • Sales revenue from special order
  • Variable cost  from special order

Unit variable cost = variable manufacturing cost + shipping cost = 20+3= 23.

Note that the shipping cost is directly associated with the special order while the fixed cost is irrelevant.  That is, whether or the special order is accepted the fixed cost would still be incurred.

So the analysis would look like this:  

                                                                                             $

Sales revenue from special order(3,720 × 28)  =      104,160

Variable cost of order (3,720 × 23) =                         (85560 )

Contribution from special order                                 18,600
