An import car dealer sells three models of a car. The retail prices and the current dealer
Question:
An import car dealer sells three models of a car. The retail prices and the current dealer invoice prices (costs) for the basic models and options indicated are given in the following two matrices (where “Air” means air-conditioning):
We define the markup matrix to be M - N (markup is the difference between the retail price and the dealer invoice price). Suppose that the value of the dollar has had a sharp decline and the dealer invoice price is to have an across the-board 15% increase next year. To stay competitive with domestic cars, the dealer increases the retail prices 10%. Calculate a markup matrix for next year’s models and the options indicated. (Compute results to the nearest dollar.)
