Gummy Land Candies manufactures jawbreaker candies in a fully automated process. The machine that produces candies was purchased recently and can make 5,000 jawbreakers per month. The machine cost $6,500 and is depreciated using straight-line depreciation over 10 years assuming zero residual value. Rent for the factory space and warehouse and other fixed manufacturing overhead costs total $1,200 per month. 

Gummy Land currently makes and sells 3,900 jawbreakers per month. Gummy Land buys just enough materials each month to make the jawbreakers it needs to sell. Materials cost $0.40 per jawbreaker.

Next year Gummy Land expects demand to increase by 100%. At this volume of materials purchased, it will get a 10% discount on price. Rent and other fixed manufacturing overhead costs will remain the same.
