Hyperion Inc., currently sells its latest high-speed color printer, the Hyper 500, for $350. Its cost of goods sold for the Hyper 500 is $200 per unit, and this year's sales (at the current price of $350) are expected to be 20,000 units. Hyperion plans to lower the price of the Hyper 500 to $300 one year from now. a. Suppose Hyperion considers dropping the price to $300 immediately, (rather than waiting one year). By doing so, it expects to increase this year's sales by 25% to 25,000 units. What would be the incremental impact on this year's EBIT of such a price drop? b. Suppose that for each printer sold, Hyperion expects additional sales of $75 per year on ink cartridges for the three-year life of the printer, and Hyperion has a gross profit margin of 70% on ink cartridges. What is the incremental impact on EBIT for the next three years of dropping the price immediately (rather than waiting one year)?

Under pressure from its board of directors, management at Roadside is planning to enter the conventional battery-powered flashlight market. Roadside expects to sell this boring product to wholesalers for $18.12 per unit. Relevant fixed costs will total $334,573, and variable costs to make this product will be $14.57 per unit. Background research estimates the size of the market for conventional flashlights at 1.8 million units per year. If sales of this unit reach breakeven, what market share will Roadside have? Report your answer as a percent. Report 27.5%, for example, as "27.5". Rounding: tenth of a percent.
John Deere Tractors is considering the introduction of a mid-priced version of the firm's DC6900 lawn and garden tractor product line the DC6900-X. The DC6900-X would sell for $3,900 with unit variable costs of $1,800. Projections made by an independent marketing research firm indicate that the DC6900-X would achieve a sales volume of 500,000 units next year, in its first year of commercialization. One-half of the first year's volume would come from competitors' products and market growth. However, a consumer research study indicates that 30 percent of the DC6900-X sales volume would come from the higher-priced DC600-Omega tractor, which sells for $5,900 (with unit variable costs of $2,200). Another 20 percent of the DC00-X sales volume would come from the economy-priced DC6900-Alpha tractor, priced at $2,500 (with unit variable costs of $1,200). The DC6900-Omega unit volume is expected to be 400,000 units next year, and the DC6900-Alpha is expected to achieve a 600,000-unit sales…

Phlight Restaurant is considering a delivery service. The firm expects that sales from the new service will be $150,000 per year. Phlight currently offers a sit-down service with annual sales of $100,000. While many of the delivery sales will be to new customers, Phlight estimates that 60% of their current sit-down customers will switch and use the delivery service.

Will this price decrease have a positive or negative impact on the company's EBIT? What will be the dollar value of the incremental impact of this price drop on the firm's EBIT? Will this have a positive or negative impact on the EBIT for the company? What will the dollar value of the incremental impact of the price drop be for the company? (Enter a negative for a loss, positive for a gain; round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
Expo Lube is interested in producing and selling an industrial line of oil filters. Market research indicates that wholesale customers are currently willing to pay $8 for similar filters, and that Expo Lube could sell 80,000 units per year at that price. a. If Expo Lube requires a 19 percent return on sales, what is its target cost for the proposed industrial line of filters? b. Assume that market research reveals several of Expo Lube’s direct competitors are likely to lower the wholesale price of similar filters to $7 per unit. To remain competitive, what will Expo Lube’s target cost have to be to maintain a 19 percent return on sales? c. At a wholesale price of $7, Expo Lube estimates that it can sell 83,100 industrial filters per year instead of 80,000 units. Assuming its target costs are attainable, how much more or less profit per year will the company earn at the $7 wholesale price compared to the initial wholesale price estimate of $8?
