Introduction
The introduction of B&B Health’s new product, Besthelp Cough and Cold, poses many threats to the sales of Allround’s Cold Liquid product.

Their net income number will drop from 50.7 to 32 million, a drop of 36.88%. As well, their profit margin will drop from 23.66% to 17.37%, a decrease of 26.59%. As shown by the numbers, it is clear that without any response to the release of Besthelp, sales, net income and profit margin will drop as the new
