The firm's fixed costs, F, are $2.5 million, 50 earth stations are produced and sold each year, profits total $400,000; and the firm's assets (all equity financed) are $6 million. The firm estimates that it can change its production process, adding $4 million to investment and $520,000 to fixed operating costs. This change will (1) reduce variable costs per unit by $9,000 and (2) increase output by 25 units, but (3) the sales price on all units will have to be lowered to $83,000 to permit sales of the additional output. The firm has tax loss carryforwards that render its tax rate zero, its cost of equity is 13%, and it uses no debt.
