The correct answer is any amount higher than $5,400.

First, you need to solve the break even point of sales when Chris will earn the exact same amount by plan a or plan b. The following equation will solve this problem, with x being the amount of sales.

$360 + .09x = $630 + .04x

First, subtract .04x from both sides:

$360 +.05x = $630

Next, subtract $360 from both sides:

.05x = $270

Finally, divide both sides by .05:

X = $5,400

At $5,400 Chris will earn the same about of pay, regardless of which plan they are on. Since the commission percentage is higher on plan a, Chris is better off having plan a when sales are higher than $5,400. At this point Chris is earning 9% commission, rather than 4% in plan b.

Carey Company had sales in 2016 of $1,560,000 on 60,000 units. Variable costs totaled $900,000, and fixed costs totaled $500,000
user100 [1]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>Giving the following information: </u>

Selling price per unit= 1,560,000 / 60,000= $26

Unitary variable cost= 900,000 / 60,000= $15

Fixed costs= $500,000.

<u>First, the income statement without the changes:</u>

Sales= 1,560,000

Total varaible cost= (900,000)

Contribution margin= 660,000

Total fixed costs= (500,000)

Net operating income= 160,000

<u>Now, with the changes:</u>

Unitary variable cost= (15*0.8)= 12

Selling price= 26 - 1.5= $24.5

Sales in units= 60,000*1.05= 63,000

Fixed costs= 500,000 + 100,000= $600,000

Sales= 24.5*63,000= 1,543,500

Total variable cost= (12*63,000)= (756,000)

Total contribution margin= 787,500

Fixed costs= (600,000)

Net operating income= 187,500
