Micro Enterprises has the capacity to produce 10,000 chips a month, and currently makes and sells 9,000 chips a month. Chips normally sell for $6 each, and cost an average of $5 to make, including fixed costs. The monthly fixed costs are $18,000. Coyote has offered to buy 1,500 chips (all or nothing) for $4 each. The accountant has determined that the excess production (beyond capacity) can be accommodated in the short term by incurring an incremental (fixed) cost of $800. Should Coyote’s offer be accepted?

B. No, because the opportunity costs are less than the gains
C. Yes, because the contribution from the sale exceeds the incremental costs
D. Yes, because it makes $1 per unit in the short run
E. Unable to determine
