Original equipment manufacturers such as Mercury and Honda purchase the components for use in large, powerful outboards. The part sells for $700, and sales volume averages 35,000 units per year. Recently, MaxiDrive’s major competitor reduced the price of its equivalent unit to $678. The market is very competitive, and MaxiDrive realizes it must meet the new price or lose significant market share. Management has begun paying closer attention to costs and has reconfirmed the current existing standard costs. The controller then assembled the following cost and usage data for the most recent year for MaxiDrive’s production of 35,000 units:
