A company produces 1,000 packages of chicken feed per month. The sales price is $4.00 per pack. Variable cost is $1.50 per unit, and fixed costs are $1,700 per month. Management is considering adding a vitamin supplement to improve the value of the product. The variable cost will increase from $1.50 to $1.90 per unit, and fixed costs will increase by 20%.
