Question

 assume that monthly capacity is 15,000 pieces. Carilla is concerned that
if it accepts the special order, its existing customers will immediately demand a price discount
of $20 in the month in which the special order is being filled. They would argue that Carilla’s
capacity costs are now being spread over more units and that existing customers should get the
benefit of these lower costs. Should Carilla accept the special order under these conditions?
