To boost profits for the future period, a marketing plan has been completed which involves spending 15,000 more on advertising and raising the selling price by 5%. It has been estimated that variable costs will need to increase to 3 per kg because of production and sales output increasing from 90,000 kg to 105,000 kg. To increase productive capacity, a one-off cost of 22,000 will be incurred.
