1. Waterways is thinking of mass-producing one of its special-order sprinklers. To do so would increase variable costs for all sprinklers by an average of $0.70 per unit. The company also estimates that this change could increase the overall number of sprinklers sold by 10%, and the average sales price would increase $0.20 per unit. Waterways currently sells 490,000 sprinkler units at an average selling price of $28.60. The manufacturing costs are $7,866,260 variable and $2,011,486 fixed. Selling and administrative costs are $2,644,240 variable and $809,370 fixed. If Waterways begins mass-producing its special-order sprinklers, how would this affect the company? (Round ratio to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5% and Net income to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,520.)
