Discussion Post II
Read the scenario below and answer the questions that follow.
The XYZ Company has developed a new blow dryer. It says that the blow dryer uses state-of-the-art cool-wind technology to eliminate split ends and still dry your hair as fast as a traditional blow dryer. The company is pricing the product at $99 and expects to sell 8 million units in the first year after release. The estimated market size for the product is 64 million people.
The item will be sold to retail wholesalers for $50 each. Any amount that the customer would not pay from the $99 price tag would have to come off of the wholesale price. The company considers the product to be financially viable and worth the risk if it generates an estimated minimum profit margin of 20%.
You should answer the following questions:
o Will the $99 price tag allow the company to sell the 8 million blow dryers that it wants to sell?
o Will the price be high enough to allow for the company to make a 20% profit on the product?
