Brady Lumber Company, a producer of oak lumber for furniture companies has an offer to supply a special load of lumber for an exporter. It will take three months to fill the order of 1,000,000 board metres. During the three months half of its production capacity will be utilized for the special order. The total fixed costs for the three months will be $6,000,000. Variable costs per 1,000 board metres will be $2,500.

The marketing manager believes that half of the capacity needed for the special order can become available if Bradly does not bid on a separate special order that they had expected on winning this other special order would have generated an additional net profit of $240,000 if it had been accepted.

Required:

1. Determine the minimum price that needs to be charged for the special order.
