Hobart Company produces speakers for PA systems. The speakers are sold to retail music stores for $30. Manufacturing and other costs are as follows: 
The variable distribution costs are for transportation to the retail music stores. The current production and sales volume is 20,000 per year. Capacity is 25,000 units per year.
The speakers are currently unpackaged. Packaging them individually would increase costs by $1.20 per unit. However, the units could then be sold for $33.00. All other information remains the same as the original data. What is the effect on profits if Hobart Company packages the speakers?
