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)?
