Winder Corporation is a specialty component manufacturer with idle capacity. Management would like to use its extra capacity to generate additional profits. A potential customer has offered to buy 3,000 units of component QEA. Each unit of QEA requires 5 units of material F85 and 5 units of material E71. Data concerning these two materials follow:

Material	Units in Stock	Original Cost Per Unit	Current Market Price Per Unit	Disposal Value Per Unit
F85	740	$ 4.90	$ 4.75	$ 4.20
E71	13,680	$ 5.00	$ 4.70	$ 3.60

Material F85 is in use in many of the company's products and is routinely replenished. Material E71 is no longer used by the company in any of its normal products and existing stocks would not be replenished once they are used up.

What would be the relevant cost of the materials, in total, for purposes of determining a minimum acceptable price for the order for product QEA?
