Roger Electronics has just developed a low-end electronic calendar that it plans on selling via a cable channel marketing program. The cable program's fee for selling the item is 15 percent of revenue. For this fee, the program will sell the calendar over six 10-minute segments in September.

Roger's fixed cost of producing the calendars are $120,000 per production run. The company plans to wait for all orders to come in, and then it will produce exactly the number of units ordered. Production time will be less than three weeks.
