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.

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

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

Debora [2.8K]

Answer: B

Explanation:

With the options given, Johnny can only perform worse if he performs worse than his cumulative GPA and also if he performed less than he ever performed before. The last option about Johnny's performing worse than last semester might not necessarily have an effect on his GPA. A cumulative GPA is the total GPA Johnny has gotten since he started school. The last semester might be one of his best semesters and probably had a good result so getting a result slightly lower than his last semester might not necessarily mean there will be a reduction in his cumulative GPA. So option B is correct.
