The contract stipulates that the price per unit will decrease as Save-Mart purchases higher volumes of the gadget, as follows: The contract states that Save-Mart pays Piper the unit price based on the current sales volume.

Assume that Save-Mart purchases 800 units in the first quarter of 2019 and 900 units in the second quarter of 2019.
