Answer:

1. 1,500 miles

2. Profit

3.4,000 miles

Explanation:

1. Calculation to Determine how many miles Russell needs to drive to break even k-Even Miles

First step is to calculate the Unit contribution margin

Using this formula

Let plug in the formula

Unit contribution margin = Sales price – Variable cost per unit

Unit contribution margin= $0.75 per mile – $0.35 per mile

Unit contribution margin= $0.40 per mile

Now let determine the Break-even units using this formula

Break-even units = Total fixed cost / Unit contribution margin

Let plug in the formula

Break-even units= $600 / $0.40

Break-even units= 1,500 miles

Therefore how many miles Russell needs to drive to break even k-Even Miles will be 1,500 miles

2. Calculation to determine whether he earned a profit or a loss last month Assume Russell drove 1,800 miles last month

Profit=1,800 miles – 1,500 miles

Profit=300 miles

Therefore Assume Russell drove 1,800 miles last month he will EARNED A PROFIT last month

3. Calculation to determine how many miles Russell must drive to earn $1,000 in profit.

Using this formula

Target units = (Fixed cost + Target Profit) / Unit contribution margin

Let plug in the formula

Target units = ($600 + $1,000) / $0.40

Target units = 4,000 miles

Therefore how many miles Russell must drive to earn $1,000 in profit will be 4,000 miles

A company has three product lines, one of which reflects the following results: Sales $ 215,000 Variable expenses 125,000 Contri
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: option C

Explanation: THIS CAN BE REPRESENTED AS FOLLOWS :-

If we eliminate the product there would be no sales, no variable expenses and therefore, no contribution.

  sales                    = nil

-variable expenses= <u>nil</u>

contribution              = nil

- fixed expenses      = <u>56,000</u>

NET LOSS              = <u> (56000)</u>

.

NOTE :-

Fixed expense = (140,000)*(40%)= 56,000

.

.

Thus increase in loss would be 56000- 50,000=6000
