Imagine your boss asks you to look at a 3-year contract. After some quick analysis, you determine that prices in China and Ukraine will rise even as prices in Netherlands and U.S. decrease (see the following table). You expect this lawn mower to be a big hit with sales increasing as follows:

Year 1: 36,000 (3,000 per month)

Year 2: 72,000 (6,000 per month)

Year 3: 108,000 (9,000 per month)
