Question:

The Marketing Department thinks that a fancy new package for the laptop computer battery would help sales. The new package would increase packaging costs by $0.50 cents per unit. Assuming no other changes, how many units would have to be sold each month to earn a profit of $4,700?  

                                                               $

Sales (13,100 units × $20 per unit)  262,000

Variable expenses                            <u>131,000 </u>

Contribution margin                          131,000

Fixed expenses                                <u>(146,000)</u>

Net operating loss                          $(15,000)

Answer and its explanation:

The company has to find the number of units at which the target profit is $4700.

So the formula for finding the number of units required to make a profit of $4700 is as under:

Number of Units = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / Contribution per unit .................EQ1

Now first of all we have to find the contribution per unit, which can be found from the following formula:

Contribution per unit = Total contribution / Total units sold

Here we have total contribution of $131,000 and total units of 13,100 units.

By putting values in the equation, we have:

Contribution per unit =  $131,000 / 13,100 units = $10 per unit

Now we put this value in the Equation 1 to find the required number of units to be sold to achieve a profit of $4700.

Number of Units = ($146,000 + $4700) / $10 per unit = 15,070 units

So the required units that must be sold are 15,070 to achieve $4700 profit.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The controllable variance for the month was $1,709 unfavorable

Explanation:

Controllable variance: The controllable variance show a difference between actual overhead expenses incurred and budgeting operating level based on direct labor hour.

In mathematically,

Controllable variance = Actual overhead expenses - budgeting operating level based on direct labor hour

where,

Actual overhead expenses = $11,227

And, budgeted operating level based on direct labor hour

= budgeted operating level  × direct labor per hour

= 6,160 × $2.10

= $12,936

Now, put these values on the above formula:

So,

Controllable variance = $11,227 - $12,936 = $1,709 unfavorable

Hence, the controllable variance for the month was $1,709 unfavorable
