5. The following information pertains to The Hershey Company for Hershey Bars for the month of October:

Number of cases produced and sold 70,000

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selling Price $40 per case

Chocolate 630,000

Wages for assembly line workers 560,000

Home office expenses 422,000

Boxes 210,000

Rent for the factory 120,000

Sales Commission $5.00 per case

2. The CEO believes that if the commission to the sales force is increased by $2 per case, the selling price is lowered by $1, and the home office expenses lowered by $70,000, the company can increase its sales volume by 30% and make more profit. Is the CEO correct?
