Question:
Best Snacks Inc. is a publicly traded snack food company focused on snacks and candies from around the world. On a monthly basis, the company boxes snacks and candies from a different country, along with facts about each and a scorecard for tracking favourites. The boxes can be purchased at specialty shops and are available for annual subscription. The consumer can choose between two annual subscriptions, the Good Box for $144 annually and the Oh So Good Box for $240 annually. Subscriptions are paid in advance and are non cancellable.
Best Snacks sold for cash 10,000 subscriptions on October 1, 2024, of which 20% were Oh So Good Box subscriptions. Single Good Boxes can be purchased at specialty shops. Best Snacks charges the shops $8 per box.
