    hi everyone
     can any person help me to solve this question:

    Netco's sales budget for the coming year is as follows.

    Item             Volume in Units          Sales Price                Sales Revenue
     1                     200,000                    $50                          $10,000,000
     2                     150,000                     10                            1,500,000
     3                     300,000                      30                           9,000,000
                                       Total sales revenue                        $20,500,000

    Items 1 and 3 are different models of the same product. Item 2 is a complement to Item
    1. Past experience indicates that the sales volume of Item 2 relative to the sales volume
    of Item 1 is fairly constant. Netco is considering an 10% price increase for the coming
    year for Item 1, which will cause sales of Item 1 to decline by 20%, while simultaneously
    causing sales of Item 3 to increase by 5%. If Netco institutes the price increase for Item
    1, total sales revenue will decrease by

    a. $1,050,000.
    b. $850,000.
    c. $750,000.
    d. $550,000.

    Thankes Jacob for your reply but i will tell you the correct answer I knew yesterday,

    a. $1,050,000.

      Item 2 is a complement to Item 1   , Item2  75 % from Item 1  150000/20000
      after decline  item 1 by 20%, become  160000
                           item 2 =160000*75 %     120000
                                


    sales revenue item 2   120000*10=1200000
    sales revenue item 1    160000*55=8800000
    sales revenue item 3     315000*30=9450000
                                                              19450000

    total sales revenue                        $20,500,000

    sales revenue will decrease by 1050000

    Netco's sales budget for the coming year is as follows.

    Item             Volume in Units          Sales Price                Sales Revenue
     1                     200,000                    $50                          $10,000,000
     2                     150,000                     10                            1,500,000
     3                     300,000                      30                           9,000,000
                                       Total sales revenue                        $20,500,000

    Items 1 and 3 are different models of the same product. Item 2 is a complement to Item
    1. Past experience indicates that the sales volume of
    Item 2 relative to the sales volume
    of Item 1 is fairly constant. Netco is considering an 10% price increase for the coming
    year for Item 1,
    which will cause sales of Item 1 to decline by 20%, while simultaneously
    causing sales of Item 3 to increase by 5%. If Netco institutes the price increase for Item
    1, total sales revenue will decrease by

    a. $1,050,000.
    b. $850,000.
    c. $750,000.
    d. $550,000.

    Item 1 Current Price

    50

     

    Increase at 10%

    5

     

    New Price

    55

     

     

    Current sales Qty

    200000

     

    Expected  decline by 20%

    40000

     

    Estimated sales qty at new price

    160000

     

    Total Sales Value of Item#1

         8,800,000

     

     

    Item 2 relative to the sales volume     
    of Item 1 is fairly constant
    , so

    Total sales of item #2  will decline by 20%

    (80%*150000)*10=                           1,200,000              

           

     

    Item 3 Current Sales Volume

    300,000

     

    Expected Increase by 5%

    15,000

     

    Expected sales Volume of Item-3

    315,000

     

    Sales Price

    30

     

    Total Sales Value of Item#3

         9,450,000

     

     

    Expected Sales of Item-2

         1,200,000

     

     

    Total Sales*

    (19,450,000)

     

    *(Sales of items #1+#2+#3)

     

    Current Sales Revenue

       20,500,000

     

     

    Sales Revenue decrease

     1,050,000

    Hi All, just to come to conclusion will anyone help to debate on the below line in the question :

    "Past experience indicates that the sales volume of Item 2 relative to the sales volume
    of Item 1 is fairly constant. "

    Does this sentence mean that sales is constant/independent of the sales fluctuation of sales @No1, I am of the opinion the sale of Point 2 is not varying with fluctuation of sales and hence the answer per my opinion should be $750000?

    Please help to understand.
