Which method is most appropriate for allocating revenues among the DVDs? Why? Below are three situations, select the method(s) that would be most appropriate for each situation. The (1) method(s) would be fair if the demand for the DVDs are approximately equal. The (2) method might be slightly preferable here since it is simpler and easier to explain. The (3) method would be appropriate if one DVD has a higher level of demand than the other DVD. In this situation, the dominant DVD would be sold anyway so it should receive its (4) revenue, and the other DVD should receive the remainder. 1: Data Table DVD Selling Price Beginning Mandarin (BegM) $48 Conversational Mandarin (ConM) $128 Reading Chinese Characters (RCC) $32 BegM + RCC $60 ConM + RCC $150 2: Requirements 1.
