What price would Cherokee charge to maximize revenues?

Expert Solution

Given we have number of units to be sold and sale price.

We can compute the total revenue for the company by multiplying the units and sale price.

 

units   sold price per unit Total Revenue
(a) (b) (c ) = (a) * (b)
80,000 $35 $2,800,000
90,000 $33 $2,970,000
100,000 $31 $3,100,000
110,000 $30 $3,300,000
120,000 $28 $3,360,000

 

We can see that the maximum revenue can be achieved by selling 120,000 units at $28 each.

We can also compute maximum profit

Table showing computation of profit

 

units   sold price per unit Total Revenue Variable Cost Fixed Cost Profit
(a) (b) (c ) = (a) * (b) (d) = (a) * $10 (e ) (f) = (c ) - (d) - (e )
80,000 $35 $2,800,000 $8,00,000 $700,000 $1,300,000
90,000 $33 $2,970,000 $9,00,000 $700,000 $1.370,000
100,000 $31 $3,100,000 $1,000,000 $700,000 $1,400,000
110,000 $30 $3,300,000 $1,100,000 $700,000 $1,500,000
120,000 $28 $3,360,000 $1.200,000 $700,000 $1,460,000
