Explanation / Answer

a-Current profit= $16,800 so to have $26,800 profit level cost of supply chain should be decreased by $10,000.New supply chain will be $201,600-$10,000= $211,600. Decrease % is 10,000/201,600=4.96%.

Ans- 4.96% and $191,600

b- There should be increase of $10,000 sales which will be 3.57%(10,000/280,000), new sales level= $290,000($280,000+$10,000)
