Answer:

The markup calculated as a result of information about the elasticity of demand

Explanation:

As a monopoly seller of pharmaceutical products the price set as markup would be above our marginal cost.

There are three facts about markup:

1. The Markup is not to be a price below marginal cost of the pharmaceutical product.

2. Markup is smaller when demand is more elastic. Remember if the price elasticity of demand is lower than 1, (negative) a rise in price causes an

increase in revenue for the seller.

Therefore having a -4 elasticity of demand could imply more profits for the firm.

Profitability Analysis Kolby Enterprises reports the following information on its income statement: L04 Net sales ......... . ..
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Gross profit percentage = Gross profit / Net sales

= (Net sales - COGS) / Net sales

= (250,000 - 150,000) / 250,000

= 40%

Return on sales ratio = EBIT / Net sales

= (Gross profit + other income - Administrative expenses - Other expense - Selling expenses) / Net sales

= (250,000 - 150,000 + 15,000 - 10,000 - 10,000 - 50,000) / 250,000

= 18%

<u>With new product:</u>

Gross profit percentage = Gross profit / Net sales

= (Net sales - COGS) / Net sales

= (250,000 + 45,000  - 150,000 - 38,000) / (250,000 + 45,000)

= 36.3%

Return on sales ratio = EBIT / Net sales

= (Gross profit + other income - Administrative expenses - Other expense - Selling expenses) / Net sales

= (250,000 + 45,000  - 150,000 - 38,000 + 15,000 - 10,000 - 10,000 - 50,000) / (250,000 + 45,000)

= 52,000 / 295,000

= 17.6%
