- Imagine that you could increase the price for a product that has a profit margin of 8% on its price. If you could increase the price by 1% AND simultaneously keep the sales volume (in unit terms) at the same level as before the price increase, calculate the impact of this price increase on the profit margin. (For this question, assume there are no fixed costs. You just need to calculate the PERCENTAGE CHANGE in profit margin)arrow_forwardIf a company has three lots of products for sale, purchase 1 (earliest) for $17, purchase 2 (middle) for $15, purchase 3 (latest) for $12, which of the following statements is true?

Find P/ay, and give the approximate rate of change of profit with respect to the number of pounds of Kreams that are sold if 100 pounds of Kisses and 14 pounds of Kreams are currently being sold. (Give an exact answer. Do not round.) What does this mean? If the number of pounds of Kisses is held constant and the number of pounds of Kreams is increased from 14 to 15, the profit will increase by approximately $ Need Help?

- A factory is producing a new product, and it is your job to help decide what price will produce maximum for your company. Your accounting department has told you that the profit can be estimated by the formula P(x)= 16=6x^2-x^3, where x is the selling price. Determine the selling price that produces the maximum profit.

The glasses will sell for $1,100 per pair and have a variable cost of $400 per unit. The company has spent $101,000 for a marketing study that estimates the company will sell 74,000 sunglasses per year for seven years. The fixed costs each year to produce the sunglasses will be $5,040,000. The company has also spent $706,000 on research and development for the new glasses. The new plant and equipment will cost $12,000,000 at start-up and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis to zero over the seven years. At the end of the seven years the plant and equipment will be worthless. The new sunglasses will also require an increase in net working capital of $664,000 that will be returned at the end of the project. The tax rate is 40 percent, and the cost of capital is 9 percent. The marketing study also estimates that introducing the new sunglasses will reduce sales of the company's high-priced…arrow_forward
