4. Calculate the price elasticity.
5. What is the n e w markup (profit margin %) on the sales price ($15)? What is the new mark up ( profit margin %) on total cost?

II. A firm is able to sell 10,000 units. The company fixed cost is $10,000. Variable cost is $6 per unit. Contribution margin (CM) is $4.
1. What is the markup (profit margin %) on sales price? What is the mark up on total cost (profit margin %)?
2. If the price elasticity of demand is 2, how many units they can sell if they drop the SP by $2.
3. What is the new markup on sales price? What is the new mark up on total cost? (Hint: use the new sales)
4. Please calculate the total profit for this company as well as the profit per each toy sold (Hint: use the new demand)
III. A company manufacturing toys has a fixed cost of $100,000. Variable cost is $6 per toy. Selling price is $10 per toy. Company target profit is $120,000.

What is the markup (profit margin %) on sales price at this new sales volume? What is the markup (profit margin %) on total cost?
Sam is developing a business plan for starting Pizza business in Waltham. Sam specializes in pepperoni pizza. Based on the secondary data he has found out that there are 20,000 families in the area and about 20% of these families are strict vegetarians.

It costs a total of $ 6 to make a Pepperoni pizza. Sam is planning to introduce his Pepperoni pizza at $ 8 and raise the price by $2 in the second year. Price elasticity of demand for pizza is 0.50
1. Estimate the demand for Sam's pizza in the first year
2. Calculate the % markup (profit margin %) on sales price and total cost in the first year
b. Estimate the demand for Pizza in the second year with the new price.
