Answer: The Break-Even Point will reduce from $4,285.71 to $4,125
Explanation:
To get the Break-Even Point we can divide Fixed Assets by the Contribution margin.
The Contribution Margin is the Selling Price minus the Variable Cost.
For Scenario 1 the Break-Even Point will be,
= 15,000 / ( 6 - 2.50)
= $4,285.71
For Scenario 2 the Break-Even Point is,
= 16,500 / 6.5 -2.5
= $4,125
The Break-Even Point for Scenario 2 means that even though the higher Fixed Costs could have led to a higher Break-Even Point, the higher price contributed more than the fixed costs did and led to an ultimately lower Break-Even Point than the first Scenario.
Answer:
The price elasticity of demand for icecream is -0.75, that means that is inelastic.
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the porcentage of the change in the demand when there is a change in the price. If the change in porcentage of the demand is less than the pocentage of change in the price we talk about inelastic demand. An increase in the price of inelastic goods will result in bigger revenues, as the porcentage in the drop of sales is less than the porcentage of increase in the price.
The formula is: % in change demand/% in change of price
-3%/4= -0.75
The minus symbol indicates that when the price rises the demand decrease.

Answer:
1. Ending inventory = $3519
2. Cost of Goods Sold = $21030
3. Sales Revenue = $27279
4. Gross Profit = $6249
Explanation:
FIFO method of inventory valuation is whereby the stock that first comes into the business, leaves first. This is common in perishable inventory such as vegetables or fruits.
Jan 1. Beginning inventory: 53 units x $45 = $2385
Total
53 units x $45 = $2385
Apr 7. Purchase 133 units x $47 = $6251
Total
53 units x $45 = $2385
133 units x $47 = $6251
Jul 16. Purchase 203 units x $50 = $10150
Total
53 units x $45 = $2385
133 units x $47 = $6251
203 units x $50 = $10150
Oct 6. Purchase 113 units x $51 = $5763
53 units x $45 = $2385
133 units x $47 = $6251
203 units x $50 = $10150
113 units x $51 = $5763
1. Ending inventory = 502 - 433 = 69 hence,
69 units x $51 = $3519
2. Cost of Goods Sold =
[$2385 + $6251 + $10150 + (44 units x $51)] = $21030
OR $24549 - 3519 = $21030
3. Sales Revenue =
433 units x $63 = $27279
4. Gross Profit = Sales Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold hence,
$27279 - 21030 = $6249
