CHALLENGE PROBLEM (concluded)

4.

Ryo Morrison’s expenses exceeded the amount of his sales. One way to improve is to reduce his expenses. In particular, he might investigate if it is normal to spend so much on utilities supplies in one month or whether he could reduce his monthly rent. Another way to improve is to increase his total revenue. There are two ways to increase revenues: (1) increase volume, which means to sell more services, and (2) increase prices. However, Mr. Morrison must be careful if he increases prices. An increase in prices can cause fewer sales, which may decrease overall revenue.
