Question: Assume the same information as for Problem 11-44, except that the $40 fixed manufacturing overhead consists of $15 per unit batch related costs and $25

Assume the same information as for Problem 11-44, except that the $40 fixed manufacturing overhead consists of $15 per unit batch related costs and $25 per unit facilities level fixed costs. Also, assume that each new batch causes increased costs of $15,000 per batch; the remainder of the fixed costs do not vary with the number of units produced or the number of batches. 

Batch related costs $ 15,000per batch
Variable Manufacturing costs $ 20per unit
Units in the special order 2,000units
Special order price $ 30
