PowerDrive, Inc. produces a hard disk drive that sells for $175 per unit. The cost of producing 25,000 drives in the prior year was: Direct material $625,000 Direct labor 375,000 Variable overhead 125,000 Fixed overhead 1,500,000 Total cost $2,625,000 At the start of the current year, the company received an order for 3,600 drives from a computer company in China. The management of PowerDrive has mixed feelings about the order. On the one hand, they welcome the order because they currently have excess capacity. Also, this is the company's first international order. On the other hand, the company in China is willing to pay only $130 per unit. What will be the effect on profit of accepting the order?
