Lewis Company (accounting information provided in the prior module) receives an offer to make a new product, called C, for a new customer. The customer wants to buy 1,100 units. Product C has the same cost structure as product B with three exceptions. The new customer is only willing to pay $260 per unit, direct materials costs will decrease by $10 per unit and Lewis does not have to incur any variable selling and administrative expenses.
