Idaho Potatoes (IP) grows and processes potatoes in its one plant. It sells potatoes to two markets retail and institutional. The following information is available after a recent year-end:

	Retail	Institutional	Total
Pounds of Potatoes	900,000	100,000	1,000,000
Direct Material Cost	$135,000	$15,000	$150,000
Production Support (overhead)			$983,000

IP currently allocates production support on the basis of pounds of potatoes.

IP recently made a bid to supply 25,000 pounds of potatoes to a college. It wants to add a profit of 20% of the cost in determining the selling price.
