Answer 1

Answer:

If the company repairs the units, income will increase by $15,200.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units= 11,600

Garcia can sell the units as is for $2 each or, it can repair the units at a total cost of $19,600 and then sell them for $5 each.

We will not take into account the original cost of production because they remain constant in both options.

Sell as-is:

Effect on income= 11,600*2= $23,200

Repair:

Effect on income= 11,600*5 - 19,600= $38,400

If the company repairs the units, income will increase by $15,200.
