Special order decision

Norman Concrete Company pours concrete slabs for single-family dwellings. Wayne Construc­tion Company, which operates outside Norman’s normal sales territory, asks Norman to pour 40 slabs for Wayne’s new development of homes. Norman has the capacity to build 300 slabs and is presently working on 250 of them. Wayne is willing to pay only $2,500 per slab. Norman esti­mates the cost of a typical job to include unit-level materials, $1,000; unit-level labor, $600; and an allocated portion of facility-level overhead, $700.
