A foreign distributor has offered to buy a guaranteed 8,000 units at €95 per unit next year. Harrison expects its regular sales next year to be 15,000 units.
If Harrison accepts this offer and forgoes some of its expected sales to ensure that it does not exceed capacity, what would be the total operating profit next year assuming that total fixed costs increase by €100,000?
