Company Arecently introduced a new chocolate chip muffin brand called Plenti-O- Chips, which has more than twice as many chips as any other brand on the market. The brand hias quickly become a huge market success, largely because of the number of chips in each muffin. As a result of the brand's success, the product managet who launched the Plenti-O-Chips brand has been promoted to division vice president. A new product manager, Ellen, has been brought in to replace the promoted manager. At Company A product managers are evaluated on both the sales and profit margin of the products they manage. During her fiest week on the job, Ellen notices that the Plenti O Chips muffin uses a lot of chips, which increases the cost of the mutfin. To improve the producr's profitability, Ellen plans ta reduce the amount of chips per muffin by 10.
