A known manufacturing company has estimated the ff. Component for a new product. Fixed cost= 50,000 Material cost per unit= 2.15 Labor cost per unit = 2 Revenue per unit= 7.50 Vary the production volume from 0 to 100,000 in increments of 10,000. The five different material costs are 1.50,1.95,2.15,2.85 and 3.25. Using the spreadsheet model, what will be the resulting profit if the company decides to make 70,000 units of the new product.
