Huang Automotive is presently operating at 75% of capacity. The company recently received an offer from a Korean truck manufacturer to purchase 28,500 units of a power steering system component for $200 per unit. Peter Wu, vice-president of sales, notes that although there will be an additional $2.75 shipping cost for each component, he thinks that accepting the order will get the company's "foot in the door" of an expanding international market. Huang's production and cost information for the last two years for the component are as follows: Direct material costs Direct labor costs Overhead costs Selling and administrative costs Total costs Total costs per unit 202,000 units $16,564,000 4,040,000 20,201,000 12,323,000 $53,128,000 $263.01 233,000 units $19,106,000 4,660,000 21,766,500 12,679,500 $58,212,000 $249.84 T.J. Chan, vice-president of engineering, feels that any new market should first show its profitability and that the $200 per unit offer is not only below the regular $270 selling price, but it's below the unit cost of the component. She also points out that there will be additional setup costs of $280,000 and that Huang will have to lease some special equipment for $250,000 Required 1.
