Explanation:

QuantityUnitTOTALIncome Statement

10,000  $ 25,00$ 250,000Total Net Sales

       $ 10,00-$ 100,000Variable Cost

         60%          $ 150,000Contributing Margin

                 -$ 100,000Anual Fixed Costs

         20%       $ 50,000Segment Margin

Under the actual conditions the company generate a contributing margin of 60% and a segment margin of 20%.

Quantity  Unit  TOTAL    Income Statement

   11,000  $ 25,00$ 275,000Total Net Sales

                        $ 10,00-$ 110,000Variable Cost

                      60%          $ 165,000Contributing Margin

                         -$ 122,000Anual Fixed Costs

                     16%    $ 43,000Segment Margin

If the program it's implemented we get the same Contribution Marging because it doesn't affect the Variable Cost but the Segment Margin it's negativly affected reducing it 4%.

It occurs because the Contribution Margin of the improvement doesn´t cover the total cost of the investment, it generates $15,000 of Contribution Maring but the Cost of the program it's $22,000.

one of the disadvantages of getting a government sponsored mortgage is they put a limit on the purchase price of the house. because the government is in charge of the mortage loan and terms, they are able to control how much money they are allowing someone to take out for the loan. not only are they incontrol, it's a lengthy process for a government sponsored mortgage.
