Monster Toys is considering a new toy monster called Garga. Annual sales of Garga are estimated at 1 (H).(KK) units at a price of $8 per unit. Variable manufacturing costs are estimated at S3 per unit, incremental fixed manufacturing costs (excluding depreciation) at $60, 000 annually, and additional selling and general expenses related to the monsters at $40, 000 annually.
