Incremental analysis Questions: Making Routine and Not-so-routine Decisions

What to do about that special request from Everett? Can Charlie make money on the deal? What additional considerations are involved?

The unfinished furniture shop: a local retailer that sells unfinished furniture has offered to take some of Charlie's chairs fully assembled, but otherwise unfinished. Customers could then have the fun of finishing the chairs themselves. However, the sales price would be lower. What should Charlie do?
