- Suppose a retail seller of jeans currently has 40 customers. The retailer offers the following quantity discount to these 40 customers. Buy the 1* pair of jeans at a price of $100, buy a 2d pair of jeans at a price of $80, buy a 3d pair of jeans at a price of $60, and buy a 4th pair of jeans at a price of $40. Suppose the cost to the retailer for each pair of jeans is $40. Suppose of these 40 customers, all buy the 1ª pair of jeans, 30 of these 40 buy a 2nd pair of jeans, 20 of these 30 (i.e., those who bought a 2nd pair) buy a 3d pair, and 10 of the 20 (i.e., those who bought a 3rd pair) buy a 4t pair. The profit to the retailer from selling jeans to these 40 customers in this way equals: [10] A. $4000 В. С. $4600 $6200 D.
