Pоrtrаit Perfect Cоmpаny оperаtes the franchise for grade school and high school pictures taken annually at some 4,000 sites in the upper Midwestern U.S. One of the continuing problems in this industry is retakes—returning to a site to re-photograph students who do not like the results of their first sitting. Until now, no charge has been made for the second picture session; the cost is spread over all customers and reflected in the pricing of photo packages.

Calculate the projected change in operating profit from an increase of 100,000 sittings that the company could produce because of time savings from reduced picture retake sittings. Fixed costs are not expected to change under the new proposal.

As above, assume that fixed costs do not change. (3 points)
