A product currently sells for $16 per unit. The variable costs are $8 per unit, and 10,000 units are sold annually and a profit of $30,000 is realized per year. A new design will increase the variable costs by %40 and Fixed Costs by %50 but sales will increase to 32,000 units per year. (a) At what selling price do we break even, and (b) If the selling price is to be kept same ($16/unit) what will the annual profit be?

A retail store sells a popular cosmetic called Devine and the store manager was given $140,000 by the corporate office to improve store performance any way she thinks best. The "base case" information is a price of $28 per bottle, a contribution margin of 0.30, a customer defection rate of 17 percent, and a repurchase frequency of five times a year. These improvement funds could be used to (a) increase the contribution margin to 0.39 or (b) reduce the customer defection rate to 12 percent or (c) increase the repurchase frequency to six times per year. Assume all other variables remain at the base case level for each of the three improvement options.
