Newport manufacturing makes and sells backyard fire pits


Problem - Newport Manufacturing makes and sells backyard fire pits. Each fire pit regularly sells for $269. The following cost data per unit are based on a full capacity of 3,000 fire pits produced each period.

Direct material                                                                  $100

Direct labor                                                                         $75

Manufacturing overhead (75% variable)                                $64

Newport is negotiating a special order for the sale of 75 fire pits to an overseas customer. The only selling cost that would be incurred on the special order would be a $10 sales commission. Newport is expected to make 2,500 fire pits before the special order.

Required: What is the minimum selling price Newport should negotiate for the special order?
