What is the present yearly net operating income or loss


Solve the below problem:

Q: Detmer Holdings AG of Zurich, Switzerland, has just introduced a new fashion watch for which the company is trying to find an optimal selling price. Marketing studies suggest that the company can increase sales by 5,000 units for each SFr2 per unit reduction in the selling price. (SFr2 denotes 2 Swiss francs.) The company's present selling price is SFr94 per unit, and variable expenses are SFr64 per unit. Fixed expenses are SFr833,100 per year. The present annual sales volume (at the SFr94 selling price) is 25,600 units.

Required:

1. What is the present yearly net operating income or loss?

2. What is the present break-even point in units and in Swiss franc sales? (Omit the "SFr" sign in your response.)

3. Assuming that the marketing studies are correct, what is the maximum profit that the company can earn yearly? At how many units and at what selling price per unit would the company generate this profit? (Omit the "SFr" sign in your response.)

4. What would be the break-even point in units and in Swiss franc sales using the selling price you determined in (3) above (i.e., the selling price at the level of maximum profits)?
