Accounting

Hooplah manufactures air-filled pods used in shipping packages. Data for that product are:
Sales price per unit $250
Variable cost per unit $180
Fixed expenses for the month $600,000
Currently selling 12,000 units
The chief sustainability officer is considering using a biodegradable packaging which costs
$5 more per unit than the current materials used. If implemented, the team will add $10,000
per month in advertising to make sure customers know how earth-friendly they are. They
believe this could increase customer loyalty, leading to an increase of 2,000 units per month.
a. If the change to sustainable inputs is made, how many units would the company have to
sell to maintain current operating income?
b. Should the company make the change assuming the information provided about expected
changes in units is correct?
