​#meta manufactures yoga props such as straps and blocks. Straps are sold to customers at a price of​ $18 per strap. The company currently produces​ 63,000 straps a​year, which is​ 90% of full capacity. At the current operating​ level, the cost of producing and selling a single strap is as​ follows: Variable Product Costs ​$3.10 Fixed Product Costs ​$1.20 Variable Period Costs ​$0.70 Fixed Period Costs ​$0.45 An order has been received from a chain of yoga studios for​ 7,500 straps at a special price of​ $15 per strap. If the special order is​ accepted, the unit variable manufacturing costs will decrease by​ $0.20 per strap due the type of buckles used.
