Cypress Inc. manufactures wooden canoes. Cypress normally sells the canoes for $2,700 per unit. A major distributor has offered to buy 1,000 units at a reduced price. At its budgeted annual production level of 18,000 units, Cypress' per-unit manufacturing costs are as follows: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead $950 $200 $330 $450 Cypress would have to produce the special order on an overtime shift, which would increase the direct labor costs to $300 per unit. The special order would not impact Cypress' fixed costs. However, if Cypress accepts the special order, it will also incur $60,000 in additional, one-time costs in connection with the order. What is the minimum per-unit selling price that Cypress must charge to break even on the special order?
