Incremental value analysis
Currently, the A-Z Hardware store is closed on Sundays. The weekly rent of the store is $2,800, a sizeable amount compared to their weekly profits of $7,000. The owner of A-Z exclaims, "We are wasting $400 ($2,800/7 days) in rent for every Sunday we keep the store closed." He would like to open the store on Sundays as well. He expects the increased cost of sales-force compensation to be $1,500 and utility to be $500 per Sunday. Sales on a Sunday are expected to be $15,000. The cost of these items is expected to be 80% of the sales revenues ($12,000).
Required:
