MaxiDrive manufactures a wide variety of parts for recreational boating, including a gear and driveshaft part for high-powered outboard boat engines. Original equipment manufacturers such as Mercury and Honda purchase the components for use in large, powerful outboards. The part sells for $694, and sales volume averages 33,500 units per year. Recently, MaxiDriveâs major competitor reduced the price of its equivalent unit to $649. The market is very competitive, and MaxiDrive realizes it must meet the new price or lose significant market share.
