... Suppose the company borrows money and expands its factory. Its fixed cost rises by $50,000, but its variable cost falls to $45,000 per 1,000 units. The cost of interest (i) also enters into the equation. Each one-point increase in the interest rate raises costs by $3,000. Write the new cost equation ...
