Cooper co. produced 70,000 units and incurred $168,000 of variable costs and $156,800 of fixed costs last year. cooper has received a special order from a foreign customer for 3,000 units. cooper has sufficient capacity to fill the order without jeopardizing regular sales. cooper would incur $2,520 in additional shipping charges to fulfill this order. if cooper wants to break even on this order, what should the unit selling price be?

The unit selling price be $3.24

Explanation:

For computing the unit selling price, first we have to calculate the variable cost per units and increment shipping charges per unit which is shown below:

Variable cost per unit = (Total variable cost) ÷ (number of units produced)

                                    = ($168,000) ÷ (70,000 units)

                                    = $2.4

And, the increment shipping charges per unit = (Additional shipping charges) ÷ (special order units)

= ($2,520) ÷ (3,000 units)

= $0.84

Now add these two  to find out the answer

= $2.4 + $0.84

= $3.24
