Neptune Company has developed a small inflatable toy that it is anxious to introduce to its customers. The company's Marketing
Department estimates that demand for the new toy will range between 16,000 units and 36,000 units per month. The new toy will sel
for $3.00 per unit. Enough capacity exists in the company's plant to produce 19,000 units of the toy each month. Variable expenses to
manufacture and sell one unit would be $1.00, and incremental fixed expenses associated with the toy would total $27,000 per
month.
Neptune has also identified an outside supplier who could produce the toy for a price of $1.75 per unit plus a fixed fee of $20,000 per
month for any production volume up to 21,000 units. For a production volume between 21,001 and 41,000 units the fixed fee would
increase to a total of $40,000 per month.
