Assume you had a brand, X-Bike, that had gross margins of $690 per bike in Q5. Its brand rating was 71 and it sold 300 units. After a redesign costing $30,000, the gross margins for X-Bike are projected to be $600 per bike, but its brand rating rises to 80. Because your A-Bike, with a brand judgement of 80 in the same segment and similarly priced, had a market demand of 500 last quarter and you estimate the overall market will grow by 50% next quarter, what overall gross margin would you expect for X-Bike (assume all other things, like ad quality, salesforce, etc. are equal)?
