(A) To earn $3,300, Micha needs to be able to bill $3,300 + $5,700 = $9,000. If she can bill 150 hours then the rate should be $9,000/150 hours = $60/hour. (B) If Micha bills 100 hours she will have sales of 100 hours * $60/hour = $6,000. The total costs stay at $5,700 so her earnings will be $6,000 - $5,700 = $300.

Total Product J Product K $700,000 $400,000 $300,000 $280,000 $160,000 $120,000 $140,000 $80,000 $60,000 $1,120,000 $640,000 $480,000 10,000 10,000 $ 64 $ 48

(A) Since an annual profit of $280,000 is desired the profit margin = $280,000/$1,120,000 = 0.25 = 25%. Selling price for product J = $64 * 1.25 = $80. Selling price for product K = $48 * 1.25 = $60. (B) Profit per unit of J sold is $80 - $64 = $16 and profit per unit of K sold is $60 - $48 = $12 (25% of the selling price in each case). Total profit is 5,000 (units of J) * $16 + 15,000 (units of K) * $12 = $260,000. (C) Since each unit of J sold has a higher profit ($16) than each unit of K sold ($12), this leads to a reduction of profit when of K are exchanged for units of J. For example in part B of the problem 5,000 more units of K were sold while 5,000 less units of J were sold. As a result the profit decreased.
