† Revenue: (126 desks × $1,270) + (66 chairs × $520) = $160,020 + $34,320 = $194,340
‡ Cost of goods sold: (126 desks × $770) + (66 chairs × $270) + $30,600 = $145,440
Adria Lopez believes that sales will increase each month for the next three months (April, 50 desks, 34 chairs; May, 54 desks, 37 chairs; June, 58 desks, 40 chairs) if selling prices are reduced to $1,170 for desks and $470 for chairs, and advertising expenses are increased by 10% and remain at that level for all three months. The products’ variable cost will remain at $770 for desks and $270 for chairs. The sales staff will continue to earn a 10% commission, the fixed manufacturing costs per month will remain at $10,200 and other fixed expenses will remain at $6,200 per month.
