Mg lighting had sales of 500 units at $100 per unit last year. the marketing manager projects a 15 percent decrease in unit volume this year because a 10 percent price increase is needed to pass rising costs through to customers. returned merchandise will represent 3.2 percent of total sales. what is mg lighting net dollar sales projection for this year?

The answer is: Projected net sales for this year are $45,254

Explanation:

The current total sales for MG Lighting are $50,000 (= 500 units x $100 per unit).

Next year their products will have a $10 increase (10%), so the unit price will be $110.

Due to the price increase, the number of units sold will decrease by 15%, to a total of 425 units.

MG Lighting total sales will be $46,750. Approximately 3.2% of the total sales will be returned (equivalent to $1,496).

MG Lighting net sales for this year should be $45,254 (= 46,750 - $1,496)

i'ts proportional. if the inflation rate is 12% for example, the cpi will be 12% less.
