    The correct answer is $176.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The following cost data per television are based on full capacity of 12,000 televisions produced each period: * Direct materials = $75 * Direct labor = $55 * Manufacturing overhead (75% variable and 25% unavoidable fixed) $48.

    The only selling costs that would be incurred on this order would be $10 per television for shipping.

    Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity we will not have into account the fixed costs.

    Unitary costs = 75 + 55 + (48*0.75) + 10 = $176

    The minimum price is the one that covers the variable cost. In this case $176.

    Minimum price = $176
