Barry Industries has an annual plant capacity of $71,000$ units; current production is $54,000$ units per year. At the current production volume, the variable cost per unit is $$31\mathrm{.}00$ and the fixed cost per unit is $$3\mathrm{.}90.$ The normal selling price of Barry's product is $$42\mathrm{.}00$ per unit. Barry has been asked by Bramwall Company to fill a special order for $11,000$ units of the product at a special sales price of $$21\mathrm{.}00$ per unit. Bramwall is located in a foreign country where Barry does not currently operate. Bramwall will market the units in its country under its own brand name, so the special order is not expected to have any effect on Barry's regular sales.
