Mr. White is considering temporarily increasing his manufacturing capacity to a maximum of an additional 50,000 units in 2022 by opening a small secondary facility

Mr. White is considering temporarily increasing his manufacturing capacity to a maximum of an additional 50,000 units in 2022 by opening a small secondary facility in Bracebridge. The expected life of this temporary new facility would be 3 years (2022-24) with no expected salvage value of the facility or the equipment. For the expansion Cottage Living would need to invest $8,000,000 by the end of 2021.

Given Cottage Living will not be selling chairs above market price he believes he should be able to sell all of the additional units (as long as he can motivate his sales team) at the same mix of 70% to other retailers and 30% in their Bracebridge store.

The previous consultants had provided this unfinished chart below for 5 different output options that needs to be completed:

Output Marginal Variable Cost Total Variable Cost Average Variable Cost / Unit Expected Selling Price / Unit Total Revenue Total Profit
10,000 $3,500,000 $3,500,000
20,000 $2,000,000
30,000 $7,000,000
40,000 $9,000,000
50,000 $3,500,000
