    The special order should be accepted.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    At Bargain Electronics, it costs $33 per unit ($18 variable and $15 fixed). A foreign wholesaler offers to buy 4,260 units at $29 each. Bargain Electronics will incur special shipping costs of $1 per unit.

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

    Sales = 29*4260 = 123,540

    Variable costs = 80,940 (-)

    Contribution margin = 42,600

    The special order should be accepted.
