Maria's Food Service provides meals that nonprofit organizations distribute to handicapped and elderly people. The following is her forecasted income statement for April, when she expects to produce and sell 3,400 meals:

Amount Per Unit
Sales revenue $ 21,760 $ 6.40
Costs of meals produced 15,980 4.70
Gross profit $ 5,780 $ 1.70
Administrative costs 2,380 0.70
Operating profit $ 3,400 $ 1.00

Fixed costs included in this income statement are $5,236 for meal production and $680 for administrative costs. Maria has received a special request from an organization sponsoring a picnic to raise funds for the Special Olympics. This organization is willing to pay $3.70 per meal for 300 meals on April 10. Maria has sufficient idle capacity to fill this special order. These meals will incur all of the variable costs of meals produced, but variable administrative costs and total fixed costs will not be affected.
