Wildwood Camps is a youth organization that serves hot chocolate at its camping facilities throughout Montana. The organization has offered Heavenly Treat $29 per case for a special-order batch of 1,000 cases. Each case would require a shrink-wrap covering because of moisture problems associated with the organization's storage warehouses. The cost to shrink-wrap the order is estimated at $3 per case. Selling costs associated with the order would be decreased by $1 per case because it would not include any sales commissions.
