Cost Volume Profit Analysis<\/p>\n

Scenario: Mary Willis is the advertising manager for Bargain Shoe Store. She is currently working on a major promotional campaign. Her ideas include the installation of a new lighting system and increased display space that will add $24,000 in fixed costs to the $270,000 in fixed costs currently spent. In addition, Mary is proposing a 5% price decrease ($40 to $38) will produce a 20% increase in sales volume (20,000 to 24,000). Variable costs will remain at $24 per pair of shoes. Management is impressed with Mary\u2019s ideas but concerned about the effects these changes will have on the break-even point and the margin of safety.
Complete the following:

Prepare a CVP (Cost-Volume-Profit) income statement for current operations and after Mary\u2019s changes are introduced.
Prepare a maximum 700-word informal memo to management addressing Mary\u2019s suggested changes.
