Hyperion​ Inc., currently sells its latest​ high-speed
colour​ printer, the Hyper​ 500, for
$353.
Its cost of goods sold for the Hyper 500 is
$202
per​ unit, and this​ year's sales​ (at the
current price of
$353​)
are expected to be
17,000
units. Hyperion plans to lower the price of the Hyper 500 to
$303
one year from now.a. Suppose Hyperion considers dropping the
price to
$303
​immediately, (rather than waiting one​ year). By doing so
it expects to increase this​ year's sales by
24%
to
21,080
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
$84
per year on ink cartridges for the​ three-year life of
the​ printer, and Hyperion has a gross profit margin of
75%
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)?
