The current production volume is 100,000 units ($4,400,000/$44).
The variable production costs are ($3,200,000
-
$800,000)/100,000 = $24.
Hence, at a unit selling price of $30, the order provides a contribution of $6
per unit and a total contribution of $75,000 ($6
×
12,500).
Even if it is profitable, the large sale to the hospital supply company may

a.
The variable costs of manufacturing and selling can be determined using
the high-low method:
Variable costs per unit = ($3,060,000
-
$2,745,000)
= $5.25
(240,000
-
180,000)
Now we can determine the unit contribution margin and the total
contribution from accepting the order.
