a. Model W-1 costs were rising faster than price could rise. Preparatory to phas- ing out this model, Garland Inc. planned to slash advertising for this model and raise its price by 50 percent. The number of units of model W-1 to be sold were forecast at 20 percent of the previous year’s units.

b. Models W-5 and W-6 were introduced on November 1 last year. They are brightly colored, heavy-duty, wheeled garbage containers designed for household use. Garland estimates that demand for both models will continue at the previous year’s rate.

c. A competitor has announced plans to introduce an improved version of model W-3. Garland believes that the model W-3 price must be cut 20 percent to main- tain unit sales at the previous year’s level.

d. It was assumed that unit sales of all other models would increase by 10 percent, prices remaining constant.
