Answer:
Increasing the sales price is a bad idea since total revenues will decrease.
Explanation:
The question is incomplete since we are not given the information about other costs, but we are given enough information to calculate the price elasticity of demand:
PED = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price = -12% / 7.5% = -1.6 or |1.6| in absolute terms.
Since the PED is |1.6|, it is price elastic. This means that a change in price will result in a proportionally larger change in quantity demanded. E.g. assume original price is $100 and the original quantity demanded is 100. Total revenue = $10,000. If the price increases to $107.50, the quantity demanded will decrease to 88, resulting in a total revenue of $9,460.

Answer:
$177,114.99
Explanation:
The ending balance of the loan at the end of the 30th month after the monthly payment is the beginning balance at the beginning of the month plus the interest for the month minus the monthly payment.
Note that the interest expense for the month increases the loan balance while the monthly payment reduces the balance.
interest expense for 30th month=beginning balance*fixed interest rate/2
interest expense for 30th month=$177,391.93*4.375%/12
interest expense for 30th month=$646.74
monthly payment =$923.68
The ending balance of the loan=$177,391.93+$646.74-$923.68
The ending balance of the loan=$177,114.99
