Quality Chairs Inc. (QC) manufactures chairs for industrial use. Laura Winters, the Vice President for Marketing at QC, concluded from market analysis that sales were dwindling for QC's standard three-foot chair due to aggressive pricing by competitors. QC's chairs sold for $890 whereas the competition's comparable chair was selling for $750. Winters determined that a price drop to $750 would be necessary to regain market share and reach a targeted annual sales level of 11,700 chairs. Cost data based on sales of 11,700 chairs:
