What profit-maximizing strategy should she choose

Reference no: EM13288400

A General Motors executive is considering how to price the 2013 Chevy Volt electric car in order to maximize profits for the company. Manufacturing each Volt involves $9,500 of materials, $12,500 of labor, $3,800 of shipping, and $4,000 of other supplies. The Detroit facility where the Volt is manufactured has $12.5 million of fixed costs. The marketing department says that adding a Bose sound system would boost demand, but it would cost an additional $750 per unit. The quantity demanded at each per unit price is as follows:
