Her ideas include the installation of a new lighting system and increased display space that will add 527,600 in fixed costs to the $272,000 currently spent In addition, Donna is proposing that a 5% price decrease ($40 to $38) will produce a 20% increase in sales volume (20,000 to 24,000). Variable costs will remain at $24 per pair of shoes. Management is impressed with Donna's ideas but concerned about the effects that these changes will have on the break-even point and the margin of safety.
