Answer:
It is more profitable to add the vitamin and sell the product for $5. Income will increase by $260
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The number of units= 1,000 packages
Actual:
Selling price= $4.00 per pack.
Variable cost is $1.50 per unit
Fixed costs are $1,700 per month.
New option:
Selling price= $5
Variable cost= $1.9
Fixed costs= $2,040
We need to calculate the net income of both options, and choose the more profitable one:
Actual:
Net income= 1,000*(4-1.5) - 1,700= $800
New:
Net income= 1,000*(5 - 1.9)- 2,040= $1,060
It is more profitable to add the vitamin and sell the product for $5.
