Mop and broom manufacturing has decided to produce a new


Mop and Broom Manufacturing has decided to produce a new type of mop. The mop can be made with the current equipment in place. Estimates of fixed costs per year are $39,000, and the variable cost for each mop produced is $20.

However, the company is considering the purchase of new equipment that would produce the mop more efficiently.

The fixed cost would be raised to $49,000 per year, but the variable cost would be reduced to $17 per unit. The company still plans to sell the mops at $23 per unit. Should Mop and Broom produce the mop with the new or current equipment?
