The Variable Speed Company manufactures a line of high quality tools. The company sold 1,000,000 hammers at a price of $4 per unit last year. The company estimates that this volume represents a 20% share of the current hammers market. The market is expected to increase by 5%. Marketing specialists have determined that, as a result of a new advertising campaign and packaging, the company will increase its share of this larger market to 24%. Due to changes in prices, the new price for the hammer will be $4.30 per unit. This new price is expected to be in line with the competition and have no effect on the volume estimates.

Answer:

Estimated sales revenue next year =$ 5,418,000.

Explanation:

Current market size  = Company share/percentage of market share

= 1,000,000./0.2

=5,000,000 units

New market size with 5% increase

= 105%× current market size

=105% × 5,000,000

=5,250,000 units

Company new if it will now accounts for 24% of the market size

Company new market share = 24% × New market size

  = 24%× 5,250,000    

=  1,260,000  units

    Estimated sales revenue next year

=  Price per unit × new market share

= $4.30 per unit. ×  1,260,000

=$ 5,418,000.0

Answer:

The estimated sales revenue for the coming year is $5,418,000.00

Explanation:

Quantity sold initially       1,000,000

initial total market share  =1,000,000/20%

initial market total market share=5,000,000 hammers

new total market share=5,000,000*(1+5%)

                                     =5,000,000*(1+0.05)

                                     =5,000,000*1.05

                                      =5,250,000

Variable speed new share of market is 24%

market share in units=24%*5,250,000=1,260,000

Estimate sales revenue=variable market share*new unit price

new unit price is $4.30

estimated sales revenue=1,260,000*$4.30=$5,418,000.00
