Easton Company has a capacity to produce 200,000 computer monitors per year. The company is currently producing and selling 160,000 monitors per year at a selling price of $400 per monitor. The cost of producing and selling one monitor at the 160,000 unit level of activity is given in the table below:
Direct Material cost	$ 100
Direct Labor cost	$ 40
Variable manufacturing cost	$ 20
Fixed manufacturing cost	$ 40
Variable selling and administrative cost (includes sales commission of $30 per unit)	$ 80
Fixed selling and administrative cost	$ 20
Total cost per unit	$ 300
The company has received a special order for 10,000 monitors at a unit price of $250. The company does not have to pay sales commission to the salesmen for the special order. Currently, the company pays a sales commission of $30 per monitor to its salesmen. The special order will have no effect on its fixed costs. The marketing manager has rejected the special order based on the following computation:
Special order price		$ 250
Cost per monitor	$ 300
Less: sales commission avoided	$ 30
Cost per monitor for the special order		$ 270
Net loss per monitor for the special order		$ (20)
