Expert Solution

If the company sell as is

Selling price = $110

Variable cost = $85

Contribution margin = $25

Units sold = 13,000

Total contribution margin = 13,000*25 = $325,000

Net income = $325,000

If the is modified

Selling price = 140

Variable cost = 15 + 85. = $100

Contribution margin = $40

Units sold = 13,000

Total contribution margin = 13,000*40 =. $ 520,000

Leased machine = $224,250

Net income = $295,750

As the net income is higher if the product is sold as is by $325,000 - 295,750 = $29,250 therefore the company should sell the product as it is.

A-2)

As the net income is more if the product is sold as is by $29,250, therefore this decision will increase the profit by $29,250.
