Question

Vegan Burger Launch: Unit Economics and Go/No-Go Decision

Context

You are evaluating whether to launch a vegan burger product line. Use available revenue and cost figures to compute unit economics and break-even thresholds. If no figures are provided, define variables and show formulas; include a small numeric example to illustrate.

Tasks

Compute the following from the provided (or assumed) data:
- Profit (in dollars)
- Profit margin (as a percentage)
- Break-even quantity (units)
- Break-even sales lift versus the incumbent burger needed to match current gross profit dollars
Decision: If the analysis shows the vegan burger would require a 60–70% sales lift to match current margins/gross profit dollars, should the company launch it? Explain your reasoning.
What future trends (cost reductions, demand shifts, pricing changes) could make the vegan burger market more attractive over time?
