Alice Oritz is the advertising manager for Value 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 $ 25,200 in fixed costs to the $ 212,400 currently spent. In addition, Alice is proposing that a 10% price decrease ($ 30 to $ 27.00) will produce a 20% increase in sales volume ( 20,000 to 24,000). Variable costs will remain at $ 12 per pair of shoes. Management are impressed with Alices ideas but are concerned about the effects that these changes will have on the break-even point and the margin of safety. Calculate the current break-even point in units, and compare it with the break-even point in units if Alices ideas are used.
