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)
