APQ Company currently sells a piece of equipment for $150 per unit.  It plans on lowering the price of the unit to $119 per unit.  The cost of goods for each unit is consistent each year, at $52 per unit.  The company expects to sell 100,000 units in the current year. Suppose that if APQ drops the price on the equipment immediately, it can increase sales over the next year by 30% to 130,000 units.  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?
