Hyperion Inc., currently sells its latest high-speed colour printer, the Hyper 500, for

$353.

Its cost of goods sold for the Hyper 500 is

$202

per unit, and this year's sales (at the current price of

$353)

are expected to be

17,000

units. Hyperion plans to lower the price of the Hyper 500 to

$303

one year from now.a. Suppose Hyperion considers dropping the price to

$303

immediately, (rather than waiting one year). By doing so it expects to increase this year's sales by

24%

to

21,080

units. What would be the incremental impact on this year's EBIT of such a price drop?b. Suppose that for each printer sold, Hyperion expects additional sales of

$84

per year on ink cartridges for the three-year life of the printer, and Hyperion has a gross profit margin of

75%

on ink cartridges. What is the incremental impact on EBIT for the next three years of dropping the price immediately (rather than waiting one year)?
