Sales forecast based on external data.
Raspberry Phones uses external data to forecast the coming year's sales. The company has 7.6% of all new-phone sales in the United States and 5.7% of all replacement-phone sales. Industry forecasts predict 18.1million new-phone buyers and 30.1million replacement-phone buyers in 2014. If the average Raspberry phone costs $84.20, what sales revenues is the company forecasting for 2014?
$___(Round to the nearest dollar.)
New phone sales ( in units) = 18.1 million * 7.6% = 1.3756 million
Replacement phone sales (in units) = 30.1 million * 5.7% = 1.7157 million
Sales revenue = (1.3756 + 1.7157) * 84.2 = 260,287,460 ( rounded off)
