Question

Precise Machinery is analyzing a proposed project that is expected to sell 1,450 units, ±3 percent. The expected variable cost per unit is $139 and the expected fixed costs are $123,000. Cost estimates are considered accurate within a ±2 percent range. The depreciation expense is $39,000. The sales price is estimated at $349 per unit, ±1 percent. What is the contribution margin per unit under the best-case scenario?

Answer 1

Answer:

$221.86

Explanation:

The computation of the contribution margin per unit is shown below:

Given that

Sale price per unit= $349

Variable cost per unit = $139

And we know that

Contribution margin per unit = Sale price - variable cost

where,

Sale price is

= $349 × 1.03

= $359.47

And,

Variable cost is

= $139 × $0.99

= $137.61

So, the contribution margin is

= $359.47 - $137.61

= $221.86
