Suppose that for each printer sold, Hyperion expects additional sales of $83 per year on ink cartridges for the three-year life of the printer, and Hyperion has a gross profit margin of 61% on ink cartridges. What is the incremental impact on EBIT for the next three years of dropping the price immediately (rather than waiting one year)? CHO a.
