Talladega Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 185,500 tires. Talladega presently produces and sells 127,700 tires for the North American market at a price of $181 per tire. Talladega is evaluating a special order from a European automobile company, Autobahn Motors. Autobahn is offering to buy 21,900 tires for $114.77 per tire. Talladegas accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:

Direct materials	$55
Direct labor	20
Factory overhead (65% variable)	27
Selling and administrative expenses (44% variable)	26
Total	$128

Talladega pays a selling commission equal to 5% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $7.68 per tire. In addition, Autobahn has made the order conditional on receiving European safety certification. Talladega estimates that this certification would cost $182,646.
