Multiple Choice

Figure 10-2
Anderson Company manufactures a variety of toys and games. John Boone, president, is disappointed in the sales of a new board game. The game sold only 10,000 units in 2011 when 30,000 were projected. Sales for 2008 look no better. At £100 per game, it is not a hot seller. Direct costs of the board game are £56 variable cost and £100,000 fixed. John is considering several options. Option One: Cut the price to £70 and perhaps sell 15,000 units. Option Two: Cut the price to £60, reduce material costs by £10, and cut advertising by £60,000. Anticipated volume for this option is 10,000 units. Option Three: Cut the price to £80 and include a £10 mail-in rebate offer. It is anticipated that 15,000 units could be sold and only 30 per cent of the rebate coupons would be redeemed.
-Refer to Figure 10-2. What is the profit (loss) from Option One?
