Answer:
It is more profitable to maintain the price at $10
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The souvenir sheets cost the postal service $1.15 each. St. Vincent has been selling these souvenir sheets for $10.00 each and ordinarily sells about 61,000 units. To test the market, the postal service recently priced a new souvenir sheet at $11.00 and sales dropped to 51,000 units.
We need to calculate the actual revenue and decide whether it is more convenient to increase the price or leave it as it is.
Actual revenue= 61,000 units* (10 - 1.15)= $539,850
New revenue= 51,000 units*(11 - 1.15)= $502,350
It is more profitable to maintain the price at $10
