A manufacturer sells a particular product in both Brazil and the U.S.  In Brazil, the manufacturer has been selling 4,900 units per year of the product at a price of $200 and a contribution margin of 25 percent. For sales of this product in Brazil, calculate the breakeven sales level for a $20 price increase.  Show your work. In the U.S., the manufacturer’s price for this product is $400 and the contribution margin is 50 percent.  The manufacturer knows that, because of gray market commerce, every one-unit change of sales of this product in Brazil leads to a 0.15-unit sales change in the opposite direction in the U.S.  Given this information, recalculate the breakeven sales level in Brazil described in Part a. Show your work. Using the course material, describe the concept of a price corridor.  Then explain how the difference between the breakeven you calculated in Part (b) and the one you calculated in Part (a) is helpful for applying the price-corridor concept in this situation.

The student chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers isplanning a six-day trip to the national conference in Albany, NY. For transportation, the group will rent a car from either the State Tech Motor Pool or a local car dealer. TheMotor Pool charges $0.36 per mile, has no daily fee, and pays for the gas. The local car dealer charges $30 per day and $0.20 per mile, but the group must pay for the gas. The car’s fuel rating is 20 miles per gallon, and the price of gas is estimated to be $2.00 per gallon. Solve, a. At what point, in miles, is the cost of both optionsequal? b. The car dealer has offered a special student discount and will give the students 100 free miles per day. What is the new breakeven point? c. Suppose now that the Motor Pool reduces its all-inclusive rate to $0.34 per mile and that the car dealer increases the rate to $30 per day and $0.28 permile. In this case, the car dealer wants to encourage student business, so he offers 900 free miles for the…
