Scottish Company manufactures a variety of toys and games. John Chisholm, president, is disappointed in the sales of a new board game. The game sold only 10,000 units in 2018 when 30,000 were projected. Sales for 2019 look no better. At $100 per game, it is not a hot seller. Direct costs of the board game are $56 variable cost and $100,000 fixed. John is considering several options. Option One: Cut the price to $70 and perhaps sell 15,000 units. Option Two: Cut the price to $60, reduce material costs by $10, and cut advertising by $60,000. Anticipated volume for this option is 10,000 units. Option Three: Cut the price to $80 and include a $10 mail-in rebate offer. It is anticipated that 15,000 units could be sold and only 30 percent of the rebate coupons would be redeemed.

	a.	Option Two
	b.	Option One
	c.	Options One and Three are equally preferred.
