Speedy Sophia has received an offer to provide a one-time sale of 8,000 baseballs at $10 each to a network of sports superstores. This sale would not affect other sales, nor would the cost of those sales change. However, the variable costs of the 8,000 baseballs would increase by $0.30 per ball for shipping, and fixed costs would increase by $18,000.

Question: Based solely on financial information, should the company accept this offer and what other factors might the company wish to consider in accepting or rejecting this offer? Show your calculations and explain.
