The company should accept the idea because profit will increase by $24,000.
Explanation:
A company is currently selling 10,000 units of product monthly for $40 per unit.
The unit contribution margin is $27.
The company believes that spending $50,000 per month on advertising will allow them to increase the selling price to $45 and that sales will increase by 750 units per month.
