Baldwin Corporation is considering adding capacity to their Bell product, currently automated to 7.0. Assume:
- They will use the new capacity next year to make and sell 200 additional units (000).
- Each unit of capacity will cost $34.00.
- Bell's price will be unchanged at $34.00.
- Material costs will remain $13.04 next year.
- Labor costs will remain $5.34 on first shift, and $7.91 on second shift.
- Bond interest will remain 10.8% next year.
- Depreciation will be straight line over 15 years.
- SG&A costs can be ignored because they would be the same with or without the new capacity.

Buy 100 units of capacity. Finance the $3,400 purchase entirely with a new bond.
