BREAKEVEN AND LEVERAGE Wingler Communications Corporation (WCC) produces premium stereo headphones that sell for $28.70 per set, and this year's sales are expected to be 450,000 units. Variable production costs for the expected sales under present production methods are estimated at $10,300,000, and fixed production (operating) costs at present are $1,560,000. wCC has $4,800,000 of debt outstanding at an interest rate of 7%. There are 240,000 shares of common stock outstanding, and there is no preferred stock. The dividend payout ratio is 70%, and WCC is in the 4096 federal-plus-state tax bracket. The company is considering investing $7,200,000 in new equipment. Sales would not increase, but variable costs per unit would decline by 20%. Also, fixed operating costs would increase from $1,560,000 to $1,800,000. WCC could raise the required capital by borrowing $7,200,000 at 10% or by selling 240,000 additional shares of common stock at $30 per share. a.
