Starla corporation is a specialty component manufacturer with idle capacity. management would like to use its extra capacity to generate additional profits. a potential customer has offered to buy 4,370 units of component jolt. each unit of jolt requires 6 units of material ox8 and 9 units of material pow6. data concerning these two materials follow: material units in stock original cost per unit current market price per unit disposal value per unit ox8 35,600 $ 3.94 $ 4.55 $ 3.69 pow6 39,980 $ 3.54 $ 3.65 $ 2.50 material ox8 is in use in many of the company's products and is routinely replenished. material pow6 is no longer used by the company in any of its normal products and existing stocks would not be replenished once they are used up. what would be the relevant cost of the materials, in total, for purposes of determining a minimum acceptable price for the order for product jolt?
