Quality Clothing, Inc., produces skorts and jumper uniforms for school children. In the process of cutting out the cloth pieces for each product, a certain amount of scrap cloth is produced. Quality has been selling this cloth scrap to Jorge's Scrap Warehouse for $3.15 per pound. Last year, the company sold 39,000 lb. of scrap, which would be enough to make 9,750 teddy bears that the management of Quality is now interested in producing. Their processes would need some reprogramming, particularly in the cutting and stitching processes, but it would require no additional worker training. However, new packaging would be needed. The total variable cost to produce the teddy bears $3.80. Fixed costs would increase by $94,000 per year for the lease of the packaging equipment and Quality estimates it could produce and sell 9,750 teddy bears per year. Finished teddy bears could be sold for $18.00 each. Calculate the effect on operating income. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
