Kylie's Cookies is considering the purchase of a larger oven that will cost $2,200 and will increase her fixed costs by $30. What would happen if she purchased the new oven to realize the variable cost savings of $0.10 per cookie, and what would happen if she raised her price by just $0.20? She feels confident that such a small price increase will decrease the sales by only 25 units and may help her offset the increase in fixed costs. Given the following current prices how would the break-even in units and dollars change if she doesn't increase the selling price and if she does increase the selling price? Complete the monthly contribution margin income statement for each of these cases.
Round your answers to two decimal places. Round break-even units to a whole number.

The collar will feature enhanced protection, increased longevity and is environmentally friendly. It will be priced at $9.40 and has unit variable costs of $3.45. The company expects to sell 50,000 UltraGuard collars during the next six months.

Projected sales for the PetArmor collar are 95,000 units (without the introduction of the UltraGuard). The market analyst estimates that the UltraGuard collar will cannibalize 20,000 PetArmor collars during the introductory 6 month period.

- Amazon is considering using high capacity drones that would make its product deliveries more efficient. For this project, $140,000 would need to be spent right away to buy the required fleet of drones. The drones will be losing their economic value in equal amount each year, fully over their 5-year economic lives. Once the drones' economic life is over, they would all be sold for $10,300 selling price to a new owner, and Amazon would then immediately purchase the same but brand-new drones for the same price as what it paid for the initial fleet of drones. When those drones' life is over, they would again be sold and, again, brand-new ones would be purchased - all for the same prices as for the initial drones, and so on, over and over. Additional information: • Amazon expects $10,100 in annual operating costs. .
