Question - A manufacturer has been asked to fill a special order at $7.25 per unit. The regular price is $10 per unit. No other use of the currently idle capacity can be found. The manufacturer's usual variable costs per unit are $3.50 for direct materials, $2.00 for direct labour, $1.00 for variable overhead, and $0.50 for sales commission. No sales commission would be paid on this special order. The average fixed overhead cost per unit is $0.25. Assume there is no excess capacity (i.e., the company can sell every unit that it produces to regular customers). Under the general decision rule, determine the minimum price per unit for this special order?
