What is the new sales price if the cost savings are passed on to the customer?

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

PART-1) Total cost savings from the new design: $894,000

PART-2) New sales price if the cost savings are passed on to the customer: $27.12

Working:

1) M (300,000 - 100,000) * $4 = $ 800,000

A (10,000 - 4,000 ) * $15 = $ 90,000

P (8,000 - 6,000) * $2 = $ 4,000

Total savings = 800,000 + $90,000 + $4,000 = $894,000

2) New sales price = $45 - ($894,000/50,000) = $27.12
