In addition, the firm currently sells the product for $6 per unit.
Consider each of these scenarios independent of each other.
a) The company is currently producing 15,000 units per month. A potential customer has contacted the firm and offered to purchase 5,000 units this month only at a price of $4.25 per unit. There would be no variable marketing costs incurred on the contract. Should the company accept the special order? Why or why not? Be specific.
b) Assume the same facts as in part a, except that the company is producing 20,000 units per month. Should the company accept the special order? Why or why not? Be specific.
c) The company is considering selling 1,000 units that are in danger of becoming obsolete. What is the minimum price it would be willing to take for the 1,000 units?
d) Assume the company is producing and selling 20,000 units per month. It is considering an arrangement where an outside manufacturer would produce and ship the product directly to customers. Under this arrangement, variable marketing costs would decrease 20% per unit and fixed manufacturing costs would decrease 50%. Fixed marketing costs would not change. What is the maximum amount per unit the company would be willing to pay to the outside manufacturer?
