The minimum price is $6.8

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Crane Company incurred the following costs for 88000 units: Variable costs $528000 Fixed costs 392000 Crane has received a special order from a foreign company for 3000 units. There is sufficient capacity to fill the order without jeopardizing regular sales. Filling the order will require spending an additional $2400 for shipping.

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

Unitary cost = (528,000/88,000) + (2,400/3,000) = $6.8 per unit

The minimum price is $6.8
