Ski Boards, Inc., wants to enter the market quickly with a new finish on its ski boards. It has two choices: (A) make major modifications at a fixed cost of $26,000, or (B) purchase new equipment at a net fixed cost of $63,000. If the firm chooses to make modifications, variable materials and labour will be $27.0 per board. If it buys new equipment, variable costs are estimated to be $17.5 per board.
What is the minimum sales quantity that would justify the purchase of new equipment?
