Chester's product manager is considering lowering the price of the Cone product by $2.50 and wants to know what the impact will
1 answer:
Answer:
The contribution margin will decrease by 2.50
Explanation:
IF sales decreases, then the contribution margin decreases.
That's because, there is less money to pay for the variable cost.
The company will also have to sale more units to break even, as now each units contribution is fewer.
Cone's should evaluate how much their sales are expected to increase for the lower price and be cautious

Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
AP = 4.15
SP = 4.0
SQ = 114000 × 2 = 228000
1. Direct Materials Price
= (AQ × AP) - (AQ × SP)
= (246000 × 4.15) - (246000 × 4.0)
= 1020900 - 984000
= 369000 U
2. Direct Materials Quantity
= (AQ × SP) - (SQ × SP)
where SQ = 114000 × 2 = 228000
= (220000 × 4.0) - (228000 × 4.0)
= 880000 - 912000
= 32000 F
3. Direct Labor Price
= (AH × AR) - (AH × SR)
= (58700 × 9.8) - (58700 × 10)
= 575260 - 587000
= 11740
4. Direct Labor Quantity
= (AH × SR) - (SH × SR)
where, SH = 114000 × ½ = 57000
= (58700 × 10) - (57000 × 10)
= 587000 - 570000
= 17000 U
5. Total Overhead Variances
= 352000 - (57000 × 6)
= 352000 - 342000
= 10000 Unfavorable
