Explanation / Answer

Total production cost = ($43.18 + $25.60) * 130000 + $1,285,000 = $10,226,400

Marginal cost per pair = $43.18 + $25.60 = $68.78 per unit

Average cost per pair = $10,226,400 / 130000 = $78.66 per unit

Total Revenue = 6000 units * $68.78 = $412,680 (for special order marginal cost is the selling price)
