Circuit Masters Incorporated (CMI) is presently operating at 80% of capacity and manufacturing 118,000 units of a patented electronic component. The cost structure of the component is as follows: Raw materials $ 8.00 per unit Direct labor 8.00 per unit Variable overhead 10.00 per unit Fixed overhead $ 578,200 per year An Italian firm has offered to purchase 22,000 of the components at a price of $34.00 per unit, FOB CMI's plant. The normal selling price is $38.00 per component. This special order will not affect any of CMI's "normal" business. Management calculated that the cost per component is $30.90, so it is reluctant to accept this special order.

Calculate the fixed overhead per unit?

Is the cost calculation appropriate?

Should the offer from the Italian firm be accepted?
