Question:
Foressproduces a hard disk drive that sells for $171per unit. The cost of producing25,000drives in the prior year was:
Direct material $725,000
Direct labor 450,000
Variable overhead 200,000
Fixed overhead 1,500,000
Total cost $2,875,000
At the start of the current year, the company received an order for3,090drives from a computer company in China. Management ofForesshas mixed feelings about the order. On one hand, they welcome the order because they currently have excess capacity. Also, this is the company's first international order. On the other hand, the company in China is willing to pay only $113per unit.
