	At a meeting of the board of directors on January 30, the president, after reviewing the contribution margin analysis report, made the following comment:
	It looks as if the price increase of $19 had the effect of decreasing sales volume. However, this was a favorable tradeoff. The variable cost of goods sold was less than planned. Apparently, we are efficiently managing our variable cost of goods sold. However, the variable selling and administrative expenses appear out of control. Lets look into these expenses and get them under control! Also, lets consider increasing the sales price to $160 and continue this favorable tradeoff between higher price and lower volume.
	Do you agree with the presidents comment? Explain.
