¶ … feasible, the full cost structure must be analyzed. The best way to make this determination is by starting with the retail price and working backwards. Ultimately, what we need to know is whether or not the order will generate sufficient contribution to fixed costs in order to be profitable. The fixed costs are known, at $8 per unit.

It takes 13.3 days (14 is an acceptable estimate) to produce 20,000 units. Starting August 8th, 2011, this would result in completion on August 25th. It takes 35 days to ship to the Nordstrom warehouse via boat, which makes delivery September 28th/29th, before the delivery window. It is not mentioned how long customs might take, but there is clearly time for customs clearance in this scenario, as there are 16 days from the scheduled arrival until the deadline for arrival.
4/5) The wholesale price is calculated by working backwards from the retail price. Nordstrom's markup is 60% and we shall assume they are not paying the cost of shipping. Their retail price is $44.95, so the wholesale price needs to be $28.09.
6) Assuming the word "duty" in this context means "commission," this would be 6% of the wholesale price. Thus, the duty would be (.06)(28.09) =…
