a-2. Complete the following table to determine the differential profit increase (or decrease) if Unter accepts this proposal. Prices on regular sales will remain the same.
Differential revenues:
Star 100
Star 150
Differential costs:
Star 100
Star 150
Differential profit (loss)
b-1. Supposed that the car-sharing service has offered instead to buy 3,500 each of the two models at $400 and $500, respectively.

Special Order:
Contribution margin per unit
Number of units
Total contribution margin
Regular production:
Contribution margin per unit
