Question 2
Elephant Books sells paperback books for $8 each. The variable cost per book is $6. At current annual sales of 300,000 books, the publisher is just breaking even. It is estimated that if the authors’ royalties are reduced, the variable cost per book will drop by $1.50. Assume authors’ royalties are reduced and sales remain constant; how much more money can the publisher put into advertising (a fixed cost) and still break even?
