Answer 1

Answer:

1. $858,000

2. Chicken = 24,000 units and Fish = 36,000 units

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. The anticipated level of profits for the expected sales volumes is

= Expected sales of chicken × (Selling price per taco - Variable cost per taco) +  Expected sales of fish × (Selling price per taco - Variable cost per taco) - total fixed cost

= 200,000 × ($3 - $1.50) + 300,000 × ($4.50 - $2.25) - $117,000

= $300,000 + $675,000 - $117,000

= $858,000

2. The break even volume is

Let we assume the sale units be X

So, total units sold for chicken = 40X

And, for the fish it is = 60X

Sale units of chicken × (Selling price per taco - Variable cost per taco) + Sale units of chicken × (Selling price per taco - Variable cost per taco) = Total Fixed cost

0.40X × (3 – 1.50) + 0.60X × (4.50 – 2.25) = $117,000

0.60X + 1.35X = $117,000

1.95X = $117,000

So, the X is 60,000 units

So for chicken it is 60,000 × 40% = 24,000 units

And for fish it is 60,000 × 60% = 36,000 units
