Answer 1

Answer:

a. Revenue = $23,660

b. Revenue = $40,837.50

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Minimum number of chairs to be sold under the deal = 260

Price at minimum number of chairs (260) = $91

Maximum number of chairs to be sold under the deal = 450

Discount offered for quantity above 260 = $0.25 per chair on the entire order

Price at maximum number (or just above 260 chairs) = $90.75 ($91 - $0.25)

Minimum revenue to be made under this deal = $23,660 (260 * $91)

Maximum revenue to be made under this deal = $40,837.50 (450 * $90.75)
