Answer:
- $25.50
- 90,000 units
- 140,000 units
Explanation:
1. Current contribution margin ratio
= (Selling price - Variable cost)/ Selling price
= (25 - 19.8) / 25
= 0.208
New Direct labor = 5.0 * ( 1 + 8%)
= $5.40
New variable cost = 19.8 + 0.4 = $20.20
To maintain 0.208
0.208 = (Selling price - 20.20) / Selling price
0.208 * Price = Price - 20.20
0.208Price - Price = -20.20
-0.792Price = -20.20
Price = -20.20/-0.792
Price = $25.50
2. Breakeven = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin
Contribution Margin = Selling price - Variable cost
= 25 - 19.8
= $5.20
= 468,000/5.2
= 90,000 units
3. To earn $260,000;
= (Fixed Cost + 260,000) / Contribution margin
= (468,000 + 260,000) /5.2
= 140,000 units
Contribution for Standard is $30 per unit and Supreme is $60 per unit, Thus if Fixed expenses are first divided between the two products on the basis of Contribution per unit, It can be calculated as below:
Fixed Expense Bifurcated on basis of Contribution per unit= 30:60
Which Comes to 1:2
Thus it will be bifurcated as $1200000 for Supreme and $600000 for Standard
Thus for Standard to break even it Requires to Sell the below no of units:
Break Even Point in units=
Break Even Point in units=
Break even points in units=20000 units
Answer:
Forecasted sales: 25% maximum reduction.
Recommendations: try new ways to increase sales during the months left, or reduce its own cost.
Explanation:
- If sales usually increase between March 1 and June 30, and this period accounts for 50% of annual revenue, if revenue is proportional to sales, a reduction in sales will reduce revenues.
- Between March 1 and June 30 there are 4 months.
- If sales usually pick up in March and this year they were low until the beggining of May, it means that only 2 of the 4 most productive months were higly productive.
- If 50% of sales are concentrated in this 4 months, and this year 2 of the 4 months were not really productive, a maximum 25% of sales (and hence of revenues) may have lost.
- Therefore, revenues may lower by 25% this year.
- To avoid losses, it is advisable to try new ways to increase sales during the months left, that can consist on doing some advertisement and promotions (related to health care linked to exersice for example), that helps increasing sales in the months left, to compensate the looses of the 2 months. If sales cannot be increased, it is advisable to reduce cost to avoid further looses.
Answer:
