Winnebagel Corp. currently sells 33,000 motor homes per year at $49,500 each, and 13,200 luxury motor coaches per year at $93,500 each. The company wants to introduce a new portable camper to fill out its product line; it hopes to sell 23,100 of these campers per year at $13,200 each. An independent consultant has determined that if Winnebagel introduces the new campers, it should boost the sales of its existing motor homes by 5,500 units per year, and reduce the sales of its motor coaches by 1,430 units per year. The amount to use as the annual sales figure when evaluating this project is

you would calculate as follows:

Only the income that results from this project is going to be counted.
So, all "currently sells X at $" info is ignored!

New project:
23100 x $13200
+ 5500 x $49500
+ -1430 x $93500 (we sell less of these)
=443,465,000

To determine the annual sales figure for evaluating this project, we need to take into account the changes in sales of the existing products due to the introduction of the new camper.

Currently, Winnebagel Corp. sells 33,000 motor homes per year at $49,500 each and 13,200 luxury motor coaches per year at $93,500 each.

If the company introduces the new portable campers, it expects to sell 23,100 campers per year at $13,200 each. However, the introduction of the new campers will also impact the sales of the existing motor homes and motor coaches.

According to the independent consultant's analysis, the introduction of the new campers will boost the sales of motor homes by 5,500 units per year and reduce the sales of motor coaches by 1,430 units per year.

To calculate the annual sales figure, we need to adjust the sales of motor homes and motor coaches using the given changes.

Adjusted motor home sales = Current motor home sales + Increase in motor home sales
= 33,000 + 5,500
= 38,500 motor homes

Adjusted motor coach sales = Current motor coach sales - Decrease in motor coach sales
= 13,200 - 1,430
= 11,770 motor coaches

Now, we can calculate the total revenue for each product category before and after the introduction of the new campers:

Before:
Motor homes: 33,000 units * $49,500 per unit = $1,633,500,000
Motor coaches: 13,200 units * $93,500 per unit = $1,234,200,000

After:
Motor homes: 38,500 units * $49,500 per unit = $1,905,750,000
Motor coaches: 11,770 units * $93,500 per unit = $1,100,595,000

Now, to get the annual sales figure for evaluating this project, we need to calculate the total revenue after the introduction of the new campers:

Total revenue = Revenue from motor homes + Revenue from motor coaches + Revenue from new campers
= $1,905,750,000 + $1,100,595,000 + (23,100 units * $13,200 per unit)
= $1,905,750,000 + $1,100,595,000 + $304,920,000
= $3,311,265,000

Therefore, the annual sales figure to use when evaluating this project is $3,311,265,000.
