-Suppose you are the owner of a picture frame store. Let's assume that the average price customers are willing to pay for each picture frame is $120. Also, suppose your fixed costs (FC) total $32,000 (real estate taxes, interest on a bank loan, etc.) and unit variable cost (UVC) for a picture frame is $40 (labor, glass, frame, and matting) .

The Tesla Model S Performance model has a list price of $87,500. However, you want several options (Performance Plus Package, red multi-coat armor paint, Tech package, Sound Studio Package, home charging station, performance wheels, and others) that will cost $17,500. An extended warranty will add an additional $5,000. However, if you put $50,000 down now and finance the balance over the next year, you will receive a dealer rebate of $5,000 off the list price. The dealer will give you a $7,000 trade-in allowance for your 2008 Honda Civic DX four-door sedan. In addition, you will have to pay a state sales tax of $10,000, an auto registration fee of $1,000 to the state, and a $1,000 destination charge to ship and prep the car. But because the Tesla Model S is an alternative energy vehicle, you qualify for a $2,500 state rebate and a $7,500 federal tax credit! Finally, your total finance charge is $7,000. Applying the price equation, what is your final price for the Tesla Model S?
