Use the fоllоwing infоrmаtion for the next five questions. LаserLife Printer Cаrtridge Company is a decentralized organization with several divisions. Operating results for the Packer Division for 2012 are budgeted as follows: Sales $5,000,000 Less variable costs 2,500,000 Contribution margin 2,500,000 Less fixed costs 1,800,000 Operating income $ 700,000 Operating assets for the division are currently $3,600,000. For 2012, the division could add a new product line, not now included in the budget, by investing an additional $300,000 in operating assets. The new product line does not change the firm's risk. It will generate additional sales of $1,600,000 per year, and the new product’s variable costs will average 60% of its selling price. Additional fixed costs of $600,000 per year for salaries and benefits of specialized staff will be incurred each year that the product is produced. Packer’s required rate of return is 12%.
