Cyber Security Systems had sales of 3,800 units at $80 per unit last year. The marketing manager projects a 15 percent increase in unit volume sales this year with a 10 percent price increase. Returned merchandise will represent 5 percent of total sales.


What is your net dollar sales projection for this year?

Net sales $

[pready]

First you have to calculate the number of units of sales at the 15% increase. So take your sales in number of units last year times 115% to get your sales in number of units this year.

Now for the sales price increase you take your sales price from last year times 110% to get your sales price this year.

Now you know the number of units to be sold this year and the sales price this year so you can solve for total sales. Number of units * Sales Price = Total Sales

For returned merchandise simply take your total sales times 5%

For net sales take your total sales minus your returned merchandise, or take your total sales times 95%.
