Her ideas include the installation of a new lighting system and increased display space that will add $49,200 in fixed costs to the $396,000 currently spent. In addition, Mary is proposing that a 5% price decrease ($60 to $57) will produce a 20% increase in sales volume (20,000 to 24,000). Variable costs will remain at $36 per pair of shoes.
