Waterways is considering mass producing one of its special-order screens. This would increase variable costs for all screens by an average of $0.64 per unit. The company also estimates that this change could increase the overall number of screens sold of 10%, and the average sales price would increase of $0.23 per unit. Waterways currently sells 442,570.0000000000 screen units at an average selling price of $26.00. The manufacturing costs are $6,177,161 variable and $1,845,130 fixed. Selling and administrative costs are $2,395,217 variable and $715,460 fixed. If Waterways begins mass producing its special-order screens, how would this affect the company? (Round percentage answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 25.15% and other answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)
