Should Mountain keep or drop the Hiking shoe line? Support your answer with appropriate calculations c. Marketing department has come back to the project manager with an analysisthat shows if advertising were increased by $50,000, then Hiking shoes sales would go up by5% and walking shoes by 3%. Should advertising be increased? Again, prove withyour supporting calculations d. If the Hiking shoe line is shut down, Mountain will have excess capacity. In carrying out her analyses, the project manager has been able to come up with only one viable alternative. The company could use part of the capacity to make canvas slippers.Estimated sales revenue from the slippers would be $300,000, and variable costs would be$170,000. Direct fixed expenses would be reduced to $100,000, and allocated fixed expenses wouldbe $50,000. While this option would not use all the available capacity, it would reduce the number of layoffs. Should the project manager recommend that this option be carried out?
