Answer:

the total contribution margin if Bricktan chooses the most profitable sales mix is $27,000,000

Explanation:

It is important to note that the limiting factor identified is the production hours.

<em>Step 1 Calculate Contribution per limiting factor of each product</em>

Basic

1 unit requires 0.1 hours

Contribution per limiting factor = Contribution per unit / Quantity of limiting factor per unit

                                                    = $15/0.10

                                                    = $150

Classic

1 unit requires 0.125 hours

Contribution per limiting factor = Contribution per unit / Quantity of limiting factor per unit

                                                    = $25/0.125

                                                    = $200

Deluxe

1 unit requires 0.25 hours

Contribution per limiting factor = Contribution per unit / Quantity of limiting factor per unit

                                                    = $55/0.25

                                                    = $220

<em>Step 2 Rank the products </em>

1st = Deluxe

2nd = Classic

3rd = Basic

<em>Step 3 Determine the production mix</em>

Product                  Total hours demanded                Balance

Capacity                                                                       134,000

Deluxe                   (230,000×0.25) =  57,500             76,500

Classic                   (508,000×0.125) = 63,500             13,000

Basic                      (130,000×0.1)     =  13,000                  0

<em>Step 4 Calculate total contribution</em>

Deluxe                   (230,000×$55) =  12,650,000          

Classic                   (508,000×$25) =  12,700,000            

Basic                      (130,000×$15)   =  1,650,000

Total                                                 =  27,000,000

1. Answer the below question based upon the following information on Fitbit: Fitbit Year0 Year1 RRF 2% Initial Investment -$5,00
Volgvan

Answer:

$8.53

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Total sales

= 150,000 × $400

= $60,000,000

Variable = $37,500,000

Fixed cost = $1,000,000

Depreciation = $1,500,000

Tax rate = 35% = 0.35

Net Income = (Sales - Variable - Fixed cost - Depreciation) (1 -Tax rate)

= ( $60,000,000 - $37,500,000 - $1,000,000 - $1,500,000)(1 -0.35)

= $13,000,000

Price per share

= Net income ÷ Existing Fit-bit shares

= $13,000,000 ÷ 2,000,000

= $6.5

Total IPO value = Pre-IPO value + Post-IPO value

= [$91,100,000 + (6.5 × 36,500,000)] ÷ ( 2,000,000 + 36,500,000)

= $8.53

We simply applied the above formula
