Question
Campus Package Delivery (CPD) provides delivery services in and around Paradise.

The total cost to lease the necessary additional package delivery vehicles from the local dealer is $7,500 per year. The present manager will continue to supervise all services at no increase in salary. Due to expansion, however, the labor costs and utilities would increase by 50 percent.
