Solving for minimum price. Assume that Dan & Barry's sells ice cream for $3 per quart. The cost of each quart follows:

Materials	$1.00
Labor	0.50
Variable Overhead	0.25
Fixed Overhead ($20,000 per month, 20,000 quarts per month)	1.00
Total Cost per Quart	$2.75

One of Dan & Barry's regular customers asked the company to fill a special order of 400 quarts at a selling price of $2.50 per quart for a special picnic. Dan & Barry's can fill the order using existing capacity without affecting total fixed costs for the month.
