Direct material	$20
Direct labour cost	$80
Variable overhead	$40
Fixed overhead applied	$60
Total	$200

Tidbit Caf estimates the quantity required per month to be 5,000 litres.

A distributor in Florida is opening another store in Texas and has offered to buy 13,000 units. They are proposing to pay 80% of the current selling price.

To fulfill this order, the distributor requires a specialized packaging material which would cost the company $3.50 per unit. In addition, a special machine costing $40,000 would be needed to separate the special order from the regular production. This machine would be useless to In-Season once this order is filled.
