Question
An electronics firm is currently manufacturing an item that has a variable cost of $0.50 per unit and a selling price of $1.10 per unit. Fixed costs are $15,000. Current volume is 30,000 units. The firm can substantially improve the product quality by adding a new piece of equipment at an additional fixed cost of $5,600. Variable cost would increase to $0.65 and the selling price would be revised to $1.30 with the expectation that the volume would be 50,000 units as a result of a​ higher-quality product.
If the firm does not add new​ equipment, its profit will be​ =_____ dollars ​(round your response to the nearest whole number and include a minus sign if the profit is​ negative).
