Answer:

The sales revenue would be 170,000 if Hammer Time implements the decrease in selling price.

This would generate a decrease of $10,000 in the sales revenue

Explanation:

Understanding the way sales revenue is generated:

[tex]Units Sold * Unit Price = $Sales Revenue[/tex]

If the selling price drops to $10

and units sold increase by 5,000

[tex](12,000 + 5,000) * ( 15 - 5 ) = 17,000 * 10 = 170,000[/tex]

Comparing with the previous year:

[tex]12,000 * 15 = 180,000[/tex]

This policy decrease the sales revenue which makes the business less profitable.
