All Metal Bearings had sales of 12,000 units at $30 per unit last year. The marketing manager projects a 15 percent increase in unit-volume sales this year with a 10 percent price decrease (due to a price reduction by a competitor). Returned merchandise will represent 5 percent of total sales.
What is your net dollar sales projection for this year?
Net sales
$
PS - please explain every step.
Expected Sales = 12,000 * (1+15%) = 13,800 units
Expected Sales Price = $30 * (1 - 10%) = $27
Sales Return = 5% of total sales
Total Sales = Expected Sales * Expected Sales Price
= 13,800 units * $27
= $372,600
Sales return = Total sales * 5%
= $372,600 * 5%
= $18,630
Net dollar sales projection for this year = Total Sales - Sales Return
= $372,600 - $18,,630
= $353,970
Therefore, net dollar sales projection for this year is $353,970
