TurboGo – a toy car manufacturer generates most of its profits from sale of batteries. To increase profits, TurboGo has come up with an innovative design for its miniature toy cars such that these cars can be fitted only with special miniature sized batteries designed by TurboGo itself. These newly designed batteries will not be sold at a price lower than TurboGo’s current battery.
Which of the following statements best supports the assertion that TurboGo’s plan will lead to an increase in the company’s profits from the sales of miniature toy cars?
A) The new car modelled after a sports car consumes twice as much energy on average for a 30-minute play interval as the earlier model did.
B) Most competing toy car manufacturers consider TuboGo’s strategy as innovative and plan to follow suit.
C) The market research done by TurboGo’s marketing team shows that most of its current customers are more concerned about the design of the car than about the design of the battery.
D) TurboGo sells batteries at a price higher than is sold by generic battery manufacturers.
E) The new battery design makes it easier to swap batteries doing away with the need to open the battery cover.
