Worst case sales revenue is $ 922,557.30

Explanation:

The sales revenue under the worst case is the one that price that considers the lowest possible volume of units as well as the lowest sales price per unit.

Lowest volume possible = (1-3%) * 1500

= (1-0.03) * 1500

=0.97*1500

=1455

Lowest possible price = (1-2%) * $647

= (1-0.02) * $647

=0.98*$647

=$634.06

worst-case revenue=1455*$634.06

=$ 922,557.30

Sales revenue under the case scenario is $922,557.30 as shown in the computation above.
