Explanation / Answer

The sales revenue under the worst case scenario can be calculated with the use of following formula

Sales Revenue (Worst Case Scenario) = (Units*(1-4%))*(Selling Price*(1-3%))

Is is so because in case of worst case, sales in units will decline by 4% and selling price will reduce by 3%.

________

Solution:

Using the values provided in the question, we get,

Sales Revenue (Worst Case Scenario) = (2,200*(1-4%))*(750*(1-3%)) = $1,536,480 (which is Option B)
