Exercise 62

Comprehensive Profit Plan (Use information in Problem 10-60 for Spring Manufacturing Company.) C12 is a mature product. The sales manager believes that the price of C12 can be raised to $160 per unit with no effect on sales quantity. D57 is a new product introduced last year. Management believes D57 has a great potential and is considering lowering the price to $180 to expand market size and gain market share. The lowering of D57’s price is likely to double the total units of D57 sold.
