The cost of the special order can be calculated by adding the costs of direct materials, direct labor, variable indirect production, setup costs, and variable selling costs for 100,000 units. - Direct materials: $15 * 100,000 = $1,500,000- Direct labor: $6 * 100,000 = $600,000- Variable indirect production: $1 * 100,000 = $100,000- Setup costs: $10,000 * 5 setups = $50,000- Variable selling costs: $1 * 100,000 = $100,000Total cost = $1,500,000 + $600,000 + $100,000 + $50,000 + $100,000 = $2,350,000
