Consider the following scenario :
First time computer (PC 1) have lesser profit margin e.g. $100
Second time computer (PC 2) have greater profit margin e.g. $200
Qty sold for PC 1 : 9
Total 9 x 100 = $900
Qty sold for PC 2 : 1
Total 1 x 200 = $200
How can profit increase when total number of PC's sold , Price and profit margin stays the same
Qty sold for PC 1 : 1
Total 1 x 100 = $100
Qty sold for PC 2 : 9
Total 9 x 200 = $1800
A. Competitors are out of scope
B. Printers are out of scope
C. We are comparing within PXC not with competition of PXC
D. As per above scenario
E. We don't know hence cannot conclude anything based on the info provided.
