The difference of $200,000 in net profit is as a result of $200,000 difference in closing inventory.

Explanation:

In variable costing, variable costs are deducted from sales so as to obtain contribution margin. Net profit is the difference between contribution and fixed costs. Closing stock is the difference between production units and sales units. Closing stock is valued at marginal cost per unit in variable costing. Marginal cost per unit is the aggregate of all variable cost per unit.

The emphasis on keeping customers for long periods of time is the central focus of ______ value and the reason firms focus on cu
Archy [21]

Answer:

Customer Lifetime Value

Explanation:

Customer Lifetime Value is a measure of how much amount of money a customer spends on your business/products/services over the course of his whole lifetime.

It is a predictor of how well you are doing to retain your existing customers.

Why is it important?

suppose you spend $10 to advertise your product (belt) and a customer buys 5 belts on average every year for 15 years. You get $12 profit for each belt sold.

12*5*15= 900$

Subtract the advertising cost

900-10=890$ This is your customer lifetime value

Now imagine what would have happen if we had to sell these belts to 75 different customers?

The advertising cost to attract 75 customers would have been too much and hence net profit and customer lifetime value would be very less.

75*10=750$

900-750=150$

This is why customer lifetime value is important and businesses focus on retaining their customers for longer periods.
