Upper management is considering using a biodegradable packaging which costs $5 more per unit but it produces less waste in the long run. Management plans to increase advertising by $8000 in the first month to advertise this new feature to their packaging. They believe that environmentally friendly people will switch to their product resulting in an increase in sales of 3000 units per month.
