Question 4. Sandra Freestone has developed a new product that she has decided to produce and market. To proceed with this project, Sandra will quit her present job, which pays $3,000 a month. Sandra has found a small building to rent for $500 a month that will house the production facilities. One major piece of equipment that will be used to manufacture the product will be rented for $100 a month. Sandra purchased all of the other needed tools five years ago for $1,500. Material costs to make the product are estimated at $3 per unit. Monthly advertising costs for the product are estimated at $600.
