Suppose there is not enough idle capacity to produce all of the units for the overseas customer and accepting the special order would require cutting back on production of 1,600 units for regular customers.The minimum acceptable price per unit for the special order is closest to:

A) $62.00 per unit
B) $50.70 per unit
C) $67.80 per unit
D) $50.31 per unit

Minimum acceptable price: Reference: CH11-Ref17
The Melville Corporation produces a single product called a Pong.Melville has the capacity to produce 60,000 Pongs each year.If Melville produces at capacity, the per unit costs to produce and sell one Pong are as follows: The regular selling price for one Pong is $80.A special order has been received by Melville from Mowen Corporation to purchase 6,000 Pongs next year.If this special order is accepted, the variable selling expense will be reduced by 75%.However, Melville will have to purchase a specialized machine to engrave the Mowen name on each Pong in the special order.This machine will cost $9,000 and it will have no use after the special order is filled.The total fixed manufacturing overhead and selling expenses would be unaffected by this special order.Assume that direct labor is a variable cost.
