Julian Pharma manufactures hospital beds. Its most popular model, Deluxe, sells for $5,000. It has variable costs totaling $2,650 and fixed costs of $1,200 per unit, based on an average production run of 5,000 units. It normally has four production runs a year, with $400,000 in setup costs each time. Plant capacity can handle up to six runs a year for a total of 30,000 beds.

A competitor is introducing a new hospital bed similar to Deluxe that will sell for $3,800. Management believes it must lower the price to compete.

The company currently sells all the Deluxe beds it can produce.

units increase by 25%?
