You have been asked to submit a bid to produce 12 special clamps for a new die that is under construction. You estimate that the material costs (metal and fasteners) for each clamp are $150.00. You also estimate that 10.65 labor hours are needed to produce the first clamp. The value of your labor is $50/hour. From similar orders in the past, you estimate that there is a 90% learning curve for this type of work. Using this information, what is the lowest total bid (cumulative price for 12 clamps) you should submit if you charge a 25% markup on material and you wish to recoup your labor costs? Hint: set up formulas in Excel (see Moodle video). This is a long problem. Round your answer to 2 decimal places and DO NOT include the $ sign or a comma.
