Thus, profits vary considerably from year to year according to general economic conditions. The company has a large amount of unused capacity and is studying ways of improving profits. Required: 1. New equipment has come on the market that would allow Frieden Company to automate a portion of its operations. Variable expenses would be reduced by $6.30 per unit. However, fixed expenses would increase to a total of $453,600 each month. Prepare two contribution format income statements: one showing present operations, and one showing how operations would appear if the new equipment were purchased. (Input all amounts as positive values except losses which should be indicated by minus sign. Round your "Per unit" answers to 2 decimal places.)
