Runner Interiors, an interior design company, has experienced a drop in business due to an increase in interest rates and a corresponding slowdown in remodeling projects. To stimulate business, the company is considering exhibiting at the Middleton Home and Garden Expo. The exhibit will cost the company $15,140 for space. At the show, Runner Interiors will present a slide show on a laptop, pass out brochures that were printed previously (the company printed more than needed), and show its portfolio of previous jobs.

The company estimates that revenue will increase by $39,850 over the next year as a result of the exhibit. For the previous year, profit was as follows:
