Mel suddenly finds an opportunity to sell boxed dinners. The new opportunity would require the use of the 30 percent unused capa

city. The contribution margin from the dinners would amount to $3,000 annually.

Costs of meals produced 13,500 4.50
Gross profit $4,500 $1.50
Administrative costs 2,100 0.70
Operating profit $2,400 $0.80


Fixed costs included in this income statement are $4,500 for meal production and $600 for administrative costs. Maria has received a special request from an organization sponsoring a picnic to raise funds for the Special Olympics. This organization is willing to pay $3.50 per meal for 300 meals on April 10.

Answer: (a) Total Cost $900, (b) since she can make a profit of $0.50 Mel should continue to buy the cookies

Explanation:

$

Cost of the meal. 13,500

Less : Gross Margin. 4,500

--------------

Relevant cost. 9,000

------------------

Relevant cost per unit = Relevant cost / Annual contribution margin

= 9,000/ 3,000

= $3

To determine the total cost = Relevant cost per unit × meal paid for

= $3 × 300

= $900

To compare the price

$3.50 - $3.00

= $0.50

Since Mel can make a profit of $0.50, she should be buying the cookies,

Answer:

a) Total cost for making and buying the cookies = $900

b) Yes, she should continue to buy the cookies

Explanation:

Number of meals of order received = 300 meals

<u>Relevant cost:</u>

Variable cost per meal produced =

     (cost of meal produced - Gross product)/Annual contribution margin

Variable cost per meal = (13500 - 4500)/3000

Variable cost per meal = 9000/3000

Variable cost per meal = $3

Total cost = cost per meal * number of meals

Total cost = 300 * 3 = $900

Total cost for making and buying the cookies = $900

b) Should Mel continue to buy the cookies?

Selling price = $3.50

Relevant cost = $3.00

Profit per meal from special request = $3.50 - $3.00

Profit per meal from special request = $0.50

Since she is making a profit of $0.50 per meal, she should continue to buy the cookies

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

b, c

<u>Explanation</u>:

Remember, the number of order is quite large over 10 million. Therefore, the best step to carry out is

1. Export in multiple batches: This implies that instead of trying to export the whole batch at once, which might not be possible it is best to export in fewer batches.

2. Use PK Chunking: This method involves the use of an <em>automated system</em> that reduces large orders into smaller chunks.
