Original: Feather Friends, Inc., distributes a high-quality wooden birdhouse that sells for $24 per unit. Variable costs are $12.00 per unit, and fixed costs total $161,000 per year
Refer to the original data. Assume that the company sold 30,000 units last year. The sales manager is convinced that a 12% reduction in the selling price, combined with a $67,000 increase in advertising, would cause annual sales in units to increase by one-third.
