The erosion cost = $ 49,190,000

Explanation:

Given:

Class A motor homes sold = 1,200

Class C motor homes sold = 2,600

pop-up trailers sold = 4,000

if the new camper is added,

decline in class A sales = 10%

Decline in class C sales = 2,100 units

Average cost of class A motor homes = $ 162,000

Average cost of class C  homes = $ 59,500

Selling price for the pop-ups = $ 5,500

cost of the new mid-range camper = $ 32,900

Now,

Erosion cost is given as = Total decline in revenue from the sales

= (Decline in class A sales × Average cost of class A motor homes ) + (Decline in class C sales × Average cost of class C motor homes )

Erosion cost = ( 0.10 × 1,200 × $ 162,000 ) + ( (2,600 - 2,100) × $ 59,500 )

or

Erosion cost = 19,440,000 +  29,750,000

or

The erosion cost = $ 49,190,000
