Answer:

B. A $9,000 increase in profits

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what The decision to sell directly to the car dealerships over offering the rebate will result in:

First step is to calculate the net selling prices for each group

Car dealership total price of sales = 3000 × 30 Car dealership total price of sales =$90,000

Current customers;

First step is to calculate the price of 1 tire

Price of 1 tire = $45 - $10 rebate

Price of 1 tire = $35

Total selling price = 35 × 3000

Total selling price= $105,000

Second step is to calculate net amount gotten from sales to customers

Net income= $105,000 - $24,000

Net income= $81,000

Now let calculate what the decision to sell directly to the car dealerships over offering the rebate will result in:

Decision to sell= $9,000 increase in profits

Therefore the decision to sell directly to the car dealerships over offering the rebate will result in:$9,000 increase in profits
