Sheridan Company had sales in $2024$ of $$1,710,000$ on $60,000$ units. Variable costs totaled $$1,026,000,$ and fixed costs totaled

$$570,000.$

A new raw material is available that will decrease the unit variable costs by $20\%($or $$3\mathrm{.}42).$ However, to process the new raw material,

fixed operating costs will increase by $$114,000.$ Management feels that one half of the decline in the unit variable costs should be

passed on to customers in the form of a sales price reduction. The marketing department expects that this sales price reduction will

result in a $5\%$ increase in the number of units sold.
