a steady growth in sales over the past few years. Since her business has grown, Jan DeJaney, the

Direct materials 14.50

 Variable overhead 6.00

 Total variable costs $ 34.00

Fixed costs

Manufacturing $ 82,500

Selling 42,000

Administrative 356,000

 Total fixed costs $480,500

 Selling price per unit $ 65.00

Expected sales (units) 30,000

fixed selling expense of $200,000 for advertising. All other costs remain as in requirement 1. What will

be the operating profit if the additional $200,000 is spent on advertising and sales rise to 35,000 units?

 4. What will be the new breakeven point if the additional $200,000 is spent on advertising?
