The material cost for each mirror is $20 (with 25 % of the material imported from Canada and 35% from Mexico). The labor to produce each mirror is $15 with additional variable cost of manufacturing at $17 per unit. The fixed cost of manufacturing operations is $10 Million per year. FX maintains 1 month of raw materials and 1 month of WIP and finished goods combined to balance overall automotive demand. Assume that FX has a federal tax rate of 25% and a state tax rate of 5%. Also assume that FX uses a MARR of 15% for all economic analyses.
