The change in this years EBIT is _______?
b. Suppose that for each printer sold, Hyperion expects additional sales of $ 87 per year on ink cartridges for the three-year life of the printer, and Hyperion has a gross profit margin of 82 % on ink cartridges. What is the incremental impact on EBIT for the next three years of such a price drop?
