Evaluating a Pricing Strategy Change
A company manufactures and sells high-end headphones. Currently, they sell 1,000 pairs a month at a price of $200 per pair. The average cost to produce each pair is $120. The marketing team proposes lowering the price to $180 per pair, predicting this will increase sales to 1,500 pairs per month. The average cost per unit is expected to remain the same. Evaluate the marketing team's proposal. Is it a financially sound decision? Justify your recommendation by calculating the total economic profit for both the current and proposed scenarios.
