International Data Systems’ information on revenue and costs is relevant only up to a sales volume of 105,000 units. After 105,000 units, the market becomes saturated and the price per unit falls from \(14.00 to \)8.80. Also, there are cost overruns at a production volume of over 105,000 units, and variable cost per unit goes up from \(7.00 to \)8.00. Fixed costs remain the same at $55,000.

Conn Man’s Shops, a national clothing chain, had sales of \(350 million last year. The business has a steady net profit margin of 9 percent and a dividend payout ratio of 25 percent.
