a) Power Comp has decided to discontinue its Model 250 computer.

It currently has 5,000 partially completed units on hand.

To date, the company has spent $ 900 per unit, or $ 4,500,000 to bring these computers to their current stage of completion.

The company estimates that an additional $ 600 per unit will be incurred to complete production. The prices have fallen since the company has announced the product will be discontinued. If the units are completed, they can be sold for only $ 1 200.

Should the company complete production or sell them to an assembly company as they are for $ 700 per unit?

b) The company have to pay commissions of $11,000 when 80,000 units are sold and $14,000 when 115,000 units are sold, what is the variable and fixed portion of commission?
