At the start of the current year, the company received an order for3,040drives from a computer company in China. Management ofHandleyhas 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 $132per unit.
