Nоte: Yоu MUST cоmpletely explаin your rаtionаle in order for any partial credit to be given. Write both your calculations and reasoning clearly. (Round partial units upward. Round percentages to one decimal point. Round currency to dollars and cents.) Virtual Concepts, Inc. (VCI) manufactures a line of digital AI smart glasses (DAISG) that are distributed to large retailers. The line consists of three models of DAISGs. The following data is available regarding the models: Model DVR Selling Price per Unit Variable Cost per Unit Demand/Year (units) Model VC1 $950 $250 1,500 Model VC2 $750 $150 2,800 Model VC3 $650 $125 3,500 Model VC4 $550 $450 3,200 VCI is considering the addition of a fifth model to its line of DAISGs. This model would be sold to retailers for $1,050. The variable cost of this unit is $615. The demand for the new Model LX 5 is estimated to be 2,000 units per year. Forty percent of these unit sales of the new model is expected to come from other models already being manufactured by VCI (10 percent from Model VC1, 30 percent from VC2, 40 percent from Model VC3, and 20 percent from Model VC4). VCI will incur a fixed cost of $520,000 to add the new model to the line. Based on the preceding data, should VCI add the new Model LX5 to its line of DAISGs? Why or Why not?
