The fixed manufacturing overhead cost is $67,000. A normal production run includes 100,000 units. Garden Supplies Company has discovered an additional process to change the standard tomato planter into a deluxe tomato planter. Additional variable costs are estimated at $4 per unit. The deluxe tomato planter would sell for $24. Additional fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $23,000 would be incurred if the deluxe tomato planter is produced. There would be no change in the number of units produced.
