# Pricing analyst internships: what the work involves

## The discount also raises fulfillment cost

The fictional discount now requires a more expensive fulfillment method. Ignore all costs except the stated variable cost and compare with the original contribution.

### The cost assumption changed too

| Scenario | Price | Units | Variable cost per unit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Original | $100 | 1,000 | $60 |
| Proposed | $90 | 1,500 | $65 |

## Your turn

Does selling 1,500 units preserve contribution? How many units are needed now?

## Your answer

[Write your approach here.]

## For your own application

Recalculate with the costs required to deliver the increased volume.
