Razor USA produces a variety of electric scooters. Assume that Razor has just received an order from a customer (Pulse Cycles) for 500 Power Core scooters. The following price, based on cost plus a 60% markup, has been developed for the order:

Pulse Cycles rejected this price and offered to purchase the 500 scooters at a price of $45,000. The following additional information is available: Razor has sufficient excess capacity to produce the scooters. Factory overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor dollars. Budgeted factory overhead is $8,000,000 for the current year. Of this amount, $6,000,000 is fixed. Of the $15,800 of factory overhead assigned to the Pulse Cycles order, only $3,950 is driven by the special order; $11,850 is a fixed cost. Selling and administrative expenses are budgeted as follows: Fixed: $3,000,000 per year Variable: $10 per unit manufactured and sold
