69. Digital Devices, Inc. has received a special order to manufacture 10,000 CD ROM drives
for an Italian computer manufacturer. Digital determines that the order will not affect its current
domestic sales of CD ROM drives and because of the special nature of the order no sales
commission would be paid. However, to process the order for export, an additional handling cost
of $10 per unit is estimated. The order indicates that the price of the drives cannot exceed $200.

75% of available capacity. Unit selling price and costs, based on estimated actual capacity being
utilized, are as follows:
