Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Marginal cost, average variable cost, and average total cost will increase. Average fixed cost will not change.

Explanation:

Marginal Cost is the change in total cost as a result of producing one extra unit of output.

Variable cost is cost that varies with output level. Average variable cost = variable cost / quantity produced

Fixed cost is cost that doesn't vary with the level of output produced. Average fixed cost = Fixed cost / quantity produced.

Total cost is the sum of fixed and variable cost. average total cost is total cost / quantity produced.

If the price of supplies increase, the cost of production increases and average total cost, average variable cost and marginal cost would increase.

Fixed cost would remain the same.

Yard Tools manufactures lawnmowers, weed-trimmers, and chainsaws. Its sales mix and unit contribution margin are as follows.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Lawnmowers= 45,726

Weed-trimmers= 114,314

Chainsaws= 68,589

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales Mix - Unit Contribution Margin

Lawnmowers 20 % $34

Weed-trimmers 50 % $24

Chainsaws 30 % $37

Yard total has fixed cost of $6,836,000

Based on the weighted average sales participation and the unit contribution margin, we can calculate the weighted average contribution margin for the whole company. We need it to calculate the break-even point in units.

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / (weighted average selling price - weighted average variable expense)

Weighted average contribution margin= sales participation per product* unitary contribution margin

Weighted average contribution margin= (0.20*34) + (0.5*24) + (0.3*37)= 29.9

Break-even point (units)= 6,836,000/ 29.9= 228,629 units

<u>Now, we can calculate the required units for each product:</u>

Lawnmowers= 0.20*228,629= 45,726

Weed-trimmers= 0.50*228,629= 114,314

Chainsaws= 0.3*228,629= 68,589
