Answer:

1. $30,80

2. 21,500 units and $946,000

3. 33,000 units and $1,452,000

4. 16,125 units and $709,500 , $1,089,000

Explanation:

<u>The variable expenses per unit</u>

First determine the variable expenses ratio

Variable expenses ratio = 1 - CM ratio

                                        = 1-0.30

                                        = 0.70

Variable expenses per unit = $44.00 ×0.70

                                             = $30,80

<u>Break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales</u>

break-even point in unit sales  = Fixed Costs / Contribution per Unit

                                                   = $283,800/ ($44.00×30%)

                                                   = $283,800/$13.20

                                                   = 21,500

break-even point in in dollar sales = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin Ratio

                                                         = $283,800/0.30

                                                         = $946,000

<u>Amount of unit sales and dollar sales is required to attain a target profit of $151,800 per year</u>

Target Sales (Unit Sales) = Fixed Costs + Target Profit / Contribution per Unit

                                          = ($283,800 + $151,800) / $13.20

                                          = 33,000

Target Sales (Dollar Sales) = Fixed Costs + Target Profit / Contribution Margin Ratio

                                           = ($283,800 + $151,800) / 0.30

                                           = $1,452,000

<u>the company’s new break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales</u>

break-even point in unit sales  = Fixed Costs / Contribution per Unit

                                                   = $283,800/ ($44.00-$30,80+$4.40)

                                                   = $283,800/$17,60

                                                   = 16,125

break-even point in in dollar sales = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin Ratio

                                                         = $283,800/($17,60/$44.00)

                                                         = $283,800/0.40

                                                         = $709,500

<u>dollar sales is required to attain a target profit of $151,800</u>

Target Sales (Dollar Sales) = Fixed Costs + Target Profit / Contribution Margin Ratio

                                           = ($283,800 + $151,800) / 0.40

                                           = $1,089,000

Answer:

<em><u>current scenario</u></em>

Variable cost: $30.80

BEP in dollar $946.000‬

Sales to profit of 151,800:   $   1,452,000

<u><em>if variable cost decrease by $4.40</em></u>

BEP $709,500

to profit: $1,089,000

Explanation:

the Contribution margin ratio is what is left fro mthe sales price after paying the variable cost:

Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin

\frac{Contribution \: Margin}{Sales \: Revenue} = Contribution \: Margin \: Ratio

( 44 - variable cost ) / 44 = 0.3

44 - 0.3 x 44 = variable cost = 30,80

The break even point is the sales volume at which the operating income is zero:

\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin \:Ratio} = Break\: Even\: Point_{dollars}

283,800 / 0.3 = 946.000‬

A profit of 151,800 is achieve when selling above enought to make that 30%

151,800 / 0.3   =   506.000‬   + 946,000 = 1,452,000

other way would be:

( 283,800 + 151,800 ) / 0.3 = 1,452,000

if variable expense decrease by 4.4 then:

(44 - 30.8 + 4.4) / 44 = 0.4

we recalculate:

283,800 / 0.4 = 709,500

to profit

( 283,800 + 151,800 ) / 0.4 = 1,089,000

CaHeK987 [17]

The different pricing strategies are matched with the best scenarios below.

<h3>What are pricing strategies?</h3>
  • When selling a product or service, a company can employ a number of pricing tactics.
  • Senior executives must first assess the company's price position, pricing segment, pricing capacity, and competition pricing reaction strategy before determining the most successful pricing strategy for the company.

The scenario to the strategy it best illustrates is shown below:

1. When the Mays family went to Europe, they used a travel agent who worked out a trip that included airfare, hotels, and some tours all for one price.

Most Suitable Pricing Strategy: Bundling

2. Marquis Suites shows movies in a "living room" atmosphere with comfortable chairs and food and beverage service. It deliberately charges more than other theaters for this experience.

Most Suitable Pricing Strategy: Competition-based pricing

3. Chad is a do-it-yourself guy. He shops at Home Depot because, although they don’t usually run sales, he knows the store will offer the lowest price around on the tools he needs.

Most Suitable Pricing Strategy: Everyday low pricing (EDLP)

4. A major national retailer charges "full retail" for most of the lines it carries but runs "special sales" during which the company lowers its price.

Most Suitable Pricing Strategy: High-low pricing

5. When Walmart enters a new geographic area, the company undersells its more well-established competitors and eventually raises its prices once it has a loyal customer base.

Most Suitable Pricing Strategy: Penetration pricing

6. When Aaron was looking for mortgage lenders, he noticed that one major lender lowered their rates, and several others did the same within a few days.

Most Suitable Pricing Strategy: Price leadership

7. Larry Dietzel, a real estate agent, advised his clients to price their home at $199,900 when they listed with his agency.

Most Suitable Pricing Strategy: Psychological pricing

8. Overture Audio home theater systems can run as high as $100,000 but there are only a few companies offering the systems.

Most Suitable Pricing Strategy: Skimming price

9. Toyota’s approach to entering the U.S. market was to set a certain net profit margin, then determine what price the company had to offer to get Americans to buy its cars instead of domestic cars.

Most Suitable Pricing Strategy: Target costing

Therefore, the different pricing strategies are matched with the best scenarios.

Complete question:

Decisions about pricing strategies should be set in conjunction with other marketing decisions about product design, packaging, branding, distribution, and promotion. All these marketing decisions are interrelated. Prices must be related to the cost of producing the product and prices are usually set somewhere above cost. But price and cost aren't always related. There are three major approaches to pricing strategy: cost-based, demand-based (target costing), and competition-based. Other pricing strategies include skimming price strategy, penetration strategy, everyday low pricing (EDLP), high-low pricing strategy, bundling, psychological pricing, and demand-oriented pricing. Match each scenario to the strategy it best illustrates.

1. When the Mays family went to Europe, they used a travel agent who worked out a trip that included airfare, hotels, and some tours all for one price.

2. Marquis Suites shows movies in a "living room" atmosphere with comfortable chairs and food and beverage service. It deliberately charges more than other theaters for this experience.
