Waterways currently sells 442,570.0000000000 screen units at an average selling price of $26.00. The manufacturing costs are $6,177,161 variable and $1,845,130 fixed. Selling and administrative costs are $2,395,217 variable and $715,460 fixed. If Waterways begins mass producing its special-order screens, how would this affect the company?
