Its basic navigation radio requires $90 in variable costs and $2,000 per month in fixed costs. Odin sells 30 radios per month. If the company further processes the radio, to enhance its functionality, it will require an additional $25 per unit of variable costs, plus an increase in fixed costs of $800 per month.
