Answer:
(i) 900 CDs
(ii) Greater than; $1,650
Explanation:
(1) Break-event point will be when the contribution margin from total sales is equal to fixed costs,
Contribution Margin = Selling price - variable cost
= $(21.5 - 9.5)
= $12
Contribution Margin *Number of CDs sold = $10,800
Break-even point for Studio A = 10,800 ÷ 12
= 900 CDs
(2) Studio A would be more profitable when the extra profit earned from per unit sale of CD exceeds the extra fixed cost given in Studio A.
Extra Contribution margin in Studio A = $(12-10)
= $2
Extra Fixed cost in Studio A = $(10,800 - 7,500)
= $3,300
Studio A should be chosen if sales is greater than (3300/2) = $1,650.
