Answer:

$4,676,500

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:-

Sales = Sale Units × Average Sale Per Unit

Current Sales of Spa Class A = 340 × $10,700 = $3,638,000

Expected Decline Sales of Spa Class A = 235 × $10,700 = $2,514,500

Sales Loss = Current Sales of Spa - Expected Decline Sales Of Spa

Class A Sales Loss = $3,638,000 - $2,514,500 = $1,123,500

Current Sales of Spa Class C = 465 × $18,700 = $8,695,500

Expected Decline Sales of Spa Class C = 275 × $18,700 = $5,142,500

Class C Sales Loss = $3,553,000

Value of The Erosion Effect = Class A Sales Loss + Class C Sales Loss

= $1,123,500 + $3,553,000

= $4,676,500
