Modifying a product to increase its value added benefits

For example, suppose an improved version of a product increases customer value added by $25 per unit. (In effect, the demand curve undergoes a parallel upward shift of $25.)a. If the redesign is expected to increase the item’s marginal cost by $30, should the company undertake it? b. Suppose instead that the redesign increases marginal cost by $15. Should the firm undertake it, and (if so) how should it vary its original output and price?
