Your answer is correct.

Pharoah has proposed a plan to get the partnership out of the red and improve its profitability. She feels that the quality of the product could be substantially improved by spending $0.25 more per unit on better raw materials. The selling price per unit could be increased to only $5.25 because of competitive pressures. Pharoah estimates that sales volume will increase by 25%. Compute the net income under Pharoah's proposal and the break-even point in dollars. (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places, e.g. 15.2515 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,520.)

Your answer is partially correct.

Paul was a marketing major in college. He believes that sales volume can be increased only by intensive advertising and promotional campaigns. He therefore proposed the following plan as an alternative to Pharoahs: (1) increase variable selling expenses to $0.59 per unit, (2) lower the selling price per unit by $0.25, and (3) increase fixed selling expenses by $50,000. Paul quoted an old marketing research report that said that sales volume would increase by 60% if these changes were made. Compute the net income under Pauls proposal and the break-even point in dollars. (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places, e.g. 15.2515 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,520.)
