Question
How much will profit decrease by?

Transcribed Image Text:Your answer is correct.
Waterways is thinking of mass-producing one of its special-order sprinklers. To do so would increase variable costs for all sprinklers by an average of $0.60 per unit. The company also estimates that
this change could increase the overall number of sprinklers sold by 10%, and the average sales price would increase $0.20 per unit. Waterways currently sells 500,000 sprinkler units at an average
selling price of $25.80. The manufacturing costs are $6,976,770 variable and $1,751,261 fixed. Selling and administrative costs are $2,698,230 variable and $804,370 fixed.
If Waterways begins mass-producing its special-order sprinklers, how would this affect the company? (Round ratio to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5% and Net income to 0 decimal places, e.g.
2,520.)

If the average sales price per sprinkler unit did not increase when the company began mass-producing the special-order sprinkler, what would be the effect on the company? (Round answers to 2
decimal places, e.g. 5.25% or 2,520.25.)
