    Current Profit $1,000

    Proposed Profit $0

    Explanation:

    Current Profit:

    Sales (30,000 units * $1.00) = $30,000

    Variable Cost (30,000 units * $0.50) = $15,000

    Fixed cost = $14,000

    Profit = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost

    Current profit = $30,000 - $15,000 - $14,000

    Current Profit = $1,000.

    Proposed Profit:

    Sales (80,000 units * $1.00) = $80,000

    Variable Cost (80,000 units * $0.75) = $60,000

    Fixed cost = $14,000 + $6,000

    Profit = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost

    Proposed profit = $80,000 - $60,000 - $20,000

    Proposed Profit = $0
