DDs Pizza makes personal pan pizzas. Currently, their process makes complete pizzas, fully cooked, for the customer. This process has a fixed cost of $20,000, and a variable cost of $1.75 per pizza. The owner is considering a different process that can make pizzas in two ways: completely cooked (as before), or partially cooked and then flash frozen, for the customer to finish at home. This alternate process has a fixed cost of $24,000 using a new oven, but a lower variable cost (because much less energy is used in baking) of $1.25 per pizza. What is the crossover point between the existing process and the proposed process? If the owner expects to sell 9,000 pizzas, should he get the new oven?
