Mary Willis is the advertising manager for Bargain Shoe Store. She is currently working on a major promotional campaign. Her ideas include the installation of a new lighting system and increased display space that will add $24,000 in fixed costs to the $270,000 currently spent. In addition, Mary is proposing that a 5% price decrease ($40 to $38) will produce a 20% increase in sales volume (20,000 to 24,000). Variable costs will remain at $24 per pair of shoes. Management is impressed with Mary's ideas but concerned about the effects that these changes will have on the break-even point and the margin of safety.
Required:
a. Compute the current break-even-points in units, and compare it to the break-even-point in units if Mary's ideas are used
b. Compute the margin of safety ratio for current operations and after Mary's changes are introuduced.(Round to the nearest full percent)
