View Policies Current Attempt in Progress Alice Oritz is the advertising manager for Value Shoe Store. She is currently working on a major promotional campaign. Her ideas include the installation of a new lighting system and increased display space that will add $19,950 in fixed costs to the $162,450 currently spent. In addition, Alice is proposing that a 10% price decrease ($25 to $22.50) will produce a 20% increase in sales volume (19,000 to 22,800). Variable costs will remain at $10 per pair of shoes.
