The firm estimates it can sell 21,000 of the lower-priced handbags but expects to sell 7,200 less of the higher-priced handbags by doing so.

    Giving the following information:

    It is considering adding a lower-priced line of handbags that sell for $79 each. The firm estimates it can sell 21,000 of the lower-priced handbags but expects to sell 7,200 less of the higher-priced handbags by doing so.

    We need to consider not only the incremental sales of the lower-priced but also the decrease in the higher-priced handbags.

    Low-priced = 21,000*79 = $1,659,000

    Canibalized sales = 7,200*149 = (1,072,900)

    Incremental sales = $586,100
