Sarah is planning on operating a small factory to build the bird feeders. She is looking at two possible locations, A and B. If she chooses location A, the lease on the building will be higher than location B, thus leading to higher fixed costs than what she would have with location B. However, if she makes more than 20,000 units, both locations will likely have to be expanded, both the physical buildings and the manufacturing equipment. Variable costs to produce each unit will vary by location as well as by product. For example, the first design will have variable costs of $10 and $15 in locations A and B respectively, while the second bird feeder design will have variable costs of $20 and $25 respectively depending on location. However, she thinks that variable costs will decrease if she sells more than 5,000 units, as she will receive discounts from her suppliers at that point. She is unsure of…arrow_forward
