Market research has shown that when the company increases the price of its courses to its
students, as long as the increase is kept below 17.5% this is unlikely to have an effect on the

the number of units sold can be expected to fall by 2%.
Required:
(a)
(c)

Calculate the selling price of the study courses if the number of study courses sold
and the annual profits are to remain as before.
Calculate the number of units that the organisation would have to sell if it did not
change the price charged but maintained the profit level attained in the previous year.
Give an analysis of a situation where, when prices are changed the number of units
sold is affected. The data provided in the above must be used to illustrate your
answer.
