Ericsson is a large global company providing hardware, software, and related services for radio-access networks within mobile telecommunication systems. Assume that it is developing a new networking system for smaller, private telephone companies. To attract small companies, Ericsson must keep the price low without giving up too many of the features of larger networking systems. A marketing research study conducted on the companys behalf found that the price range must be $70,000 to $105,000. Management has determined a target price to be $91,000. The companys minimum profit percentage of sales is normally 15%, but the company is willing to reduce it to 12% to get the new product on the market. The fixed costs for the first year are anticipated to be $11,200,000. If sales reach 400 installed networks, the company needs to know how much it can spend on variable costs, which are primarily related to installation. Required a.
