Answer:
JANUARY FEBRUARY
TOTAL SALES $410,000 $430,500
Explanation:
for January
number of luggage set sold 2000
price for each set = $205
sales for month January = 205*2000 = $410,000
for February
number of luggage set sold 2100
price for each set = $205
sales for month February = 205*2100 = $430,500
JANUARY FEBRUARY
TOTAL SALES $410,000 $430,500
Answer:
Option 1 is wrong because in the case of multi-product, breakeven is weighted average which means the sales price will weighted average of sale prices of all the multi-products in the sales mix. If we change the weightings the weighted average costs and selling prices changes and so the contribution changes.
Option 2 is also sligthly wrong because Contribution margin per composite unit decreases if the volume of low contribution margin products increases in the sales mix. This means:
Breakeven Point=Fixed Cost/ Contribution per unit.........equartion 1
If the contribution per unit has been decreased the breakeven will rise.
Its impact depends upon the portfolio of products company is managing. It means it increases breakeven with high effects if the products in sales mix 2 to 3.
Option 3 is 100% right because equation 1 is
Breakeven Point=Fixed Cost/ Contribution per unit
Which says
If the contribution per unit has been decreased the breakeven will rise.
Option 4 is absolutely wrong because if we shift to higher volume in low contribution margin products, Contribution margin per composite unit decreases if the volume of low contribution margin products increases
which means Weighted average contribution has been decreased and as a result breakeven point according to equation 1 has been incresed.
The correct answer is B. Monopolistic competition
Explanation:
Monopolistic competition occurs when the producers of a product determine the price of it. Also, the products sold have differences, which means consumers do not consider one product can be substituted by another because the qualities, brand, appearance, etc. are different. This is the opposite of perfect competition, in which products are substitutes and price is determined by price and demand rather than producers.
Monopolistic competition occurs in the case presented because the chocolates sold by Jack are different from those sold by Mia, who uses attractive boxes. Also, due to this difference, Mia can set higher prices and still get more demand from consumers.
Answer:
D. Make Plain which creates $6 more profit per machine hour than Fancy does
Explanation:
Brooks Corporation can sell all the units it can produce of either Plain or Fancy but not both. Plain has a unit contribution margin of $72 and takes two machine hours to make and Fancy has a unit contribution margin of $90 and takes three machine hours to make. There are 2,400 machine hours available to manufacture a product.
Brooks should make Plain which creates $6 more profit per machine hour than Fancy does.
