While no sales tax would be charged on goods sold to the potential buyers in Tuvalu, they insist that the $880,000 should include the $40,000 customs duties which would be charged on the goods. Furthermore, owing to the difference in the type of spirit oil available to power brush cutters in Tuvalu compared to that in Australia certain specifications changes in the design of the brush cutters would have to be made if the order was accepted. These would cost $24 per unit.

The following additional information is available which may or may not be relevant:

Labour grade II has recently accepted a 10% pay rise, but only after a two week strike. The new pay rise has not been incorporated into the Company’s system of standards as yet.
Standard variable overheads of $40 per unit of production can reasonably be expected and fixed overheads of $80 per unit can be considered an equitable allocation of the fixed overhead burden.

I look forward to your early reply.

Yours faithfully,

Before drafting a letter to the managing director of Orchrist Ltd, analyze whether accepting the order in Tuvalu under special terms compromises the market in Australia. Although it is impossible to ship back the grass cutters from Tuvalu to Australia, in your analysis, calculate the relevant cost of the grass cutters if it were to be shipped back to Australia. (10 marks)
Draft an appropriate letter to the managing director of Orchrist Ltd explaining why you will be, or not intend, offering them revised terms for purchasing Palentir’s brush cutters. (Note: The length of the letter should be like the letter that Mr. Sartist wrote). (5 marks)
