The Soft glow Company plans to open a new retail store in Portlans, Maine. The Soft Glow Company will sell specifically candles for an average of $30 each. The average variable costs per candle are as follows:

- Wax $6

- Other additives $3

The company is negotiating its lease for the new location. The landlord has offered two leasing optons:

Opton A.) a lease of $3,000 per month

Opton B.) a monthly lease cost of $1,650 plus 10% of the company's monthly sales revenue.

The company expects to sell approximately 250 candles per month

Requirements

- Opton B

2.) At what level of sales (in units) would the company be indifferent between the two lease options? Show proof

3.) If the company's espected sales were 600 candles instead of the projection listed in the exercise, which lease options would be more favorable for the company? Why?
