The regular price is $100. Andreasen has the capacity to produce the 9,400 additional units without affecting its current production of 110,000 units.

The labor cost of affixing the label will be the same as for the current models. The Simpson order will also require a one- time rental of packaging equipment for $34,600. Required: a. Prepare a schedule to show the impact of filling the Simpson order on Andreasen's profits for the year. b. Do you agree with the decision to accept the special order? c. Considering only profit, determine the minimum quantity of thermostats in the special order that would make it profitable, assuming capacity is available.
