Capacity cannot be added in the short run and the firm currently sells the product for $23 per unit.
The company is currently producing 74,000 units per month. A potential customer has contacted the firm and offered to purchase 6,000 units this month only. Since the potential customer approached the firm, there will be no variable selling costs incurred. What is the minimum amount that the firm should be willing to accept for this order?
