Miles = 1000

Doctor's bill ins an Francisco = 1,600

Doctor's bill = 1,600

The total expenses i hotel room is calculated as :150 * 1 *3 = 450

So,

The total = 1600 + 450 = 2050

It is also important to know that only 10% of the expense stay for the accompanied person is permitted

german

Answer:

Horatio Alger

1. The unit contribution for Brand X is = $0.79

2. Brand X's break-even point (in units) = 1,816,456 (in sales dollars) = $1,816,456

3. The market share that Brand X needs to break-even

= 9.1%

4. Brand X's profit impact is 48.9% or $2,347,000

a. If the advertising budget is raised, units that Brand X have to sell to break-even is:

= 2,449,367 units

b. The units that Brand X have to sell in order for it to achieve the same profit impact that it did this year is:

= 5,865,886 units

c. Brand X's market share have to be 25.5% next year for its profit impact to be the same as this year.

d. Brand X's market share have to be 16.2% for it to have a $1 million profit impact.

5. a. Break-even sales units = 2,474,138 units

b. Break-even sales units = 6,520,690 units

c. Brand X's market share have to be 32.6% for its profit impact to remain at this year's level.

d. Brand X's market share have to be 15.4% to generate a profit impact of $350,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Retail price of Brand X = $1.00

Units sold = 24% of 20 million = 4,800,000 units

Total sales revenue = $1.00 $4,800,000

Variable costs:

Manufacturing $0.09

Selling commision (10% of $1) $0.10

Other selling expense $0.02

Total variable costs per unit $0.21 $1,008,000

Contribution margin per unit $0.79 $3,782,000

Fixed costs:

Manufacturing $900,000

Advertising 500,000

Brand X manager's salary 35,000 $1,435,000

Net income = $2,347,000

Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit = $1,435,000/$0.79 = 1,816,456 units

The market share that Brand X needs to break-even

= 1,816,456/20,000,000

= 9.1%

Brand X's profit impact = 48.9% ($2,347,000/$4,800,000 * 100)

With increase in advertising budget to $1 million next year,

a. Units to break-even = $1,935,000/$0.79 = 2,449,367 units

b. Units to achieve same profit impact:

Sales increased by 15% (3/20 * 100)

Net income will increase to = $2,699,050 ($2,347,000 * 1.15) to make the same impact

Therefore, the units to achieve same profit impact = ($1,935,000 + $2,699,050)/$0.79

= $4,634,050/$0.79

= 5,865,886 units

Market share next year = 25.5% (5,865,886/23,000,000)

Market share to achieve $1 million profit impact

= (FC + Profit target)/$0.79

= $1,935,000 + $1,000,000)/$0.79

= $2,935,000/$0.79

= $3,715,190

= $3,715,190/$23,000,000 * 100 = 16.2%

Fixed costs = $1,435,000

Retailer's margin raise = 40% from 33%, a 21.2% increase or decrease in price

Therefore, the new selling price = $1.00 * (1 - 0.212) = $0.79

Variable cost = $0.21

Contribution margin = $0.58

To break-even, FC/Contribution margin per unit

= $1,435,000/$0.58

= 2,474,138 units

Break-even units to achieve profit of $2,347,000 = ($1,435,000 + $2,347,000)/$0.58

= 6,520,690 units

Sales = $5,151,345 (6,520,690 * $0.79)

Market sales revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)

= $5,151,345/$15,800,000 * 100

= 32.6%

Market impact of $350,000

Break-even units ($1,435,000 + $350,000)/$0.58

= 3,077,586 units

Sales revenue = $2,431,293 (3,077,586 * $0.79)

Market revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)

Market share = $2,431,293/$15,800,000 * 100

= 15.4%
