Answer:

1.. Unit produce 20,000 deluxe units per year

Units sold $33.33

Total contribution margin $500,000

2. Basic 50,000 units

Standard 2,000 units

Deluxe 12,000 units

$470,000

Explanation:

1. Calculation to determine How many of each type of unit should be produced and sold to maximize the company's contribution margin? What is the total contribution margin for your selection?

BASIC STANDARD DELUXE

Price $9 $30 $35

Less Variable cost 6 20 10

=Contribution margin (A) 3 10 25

Machine hours (B) 0.1 0.5 0.75

Contribution margin per

machine hours (A/B) $30 $20 $33.33

Unit produce=(15,000/0.75)

Unit produce=20,000 deluxe units per year.

In order to maximize the company's contribution margin the company should sell deluxe unit with contribution margin of the amount of $ 33.33 per machine hour

Total contribution margin= 20,000 units,*$25

Total contribution margin= $500,000.

Therefore The amount of unit that should be produced is 20,000 units and $33.33 will be sold to maximize the company's contribution margin while the the total contribution margin for your selection is $500,000

2. Calculation to determine product mix would you recommend, and what would be the total contribution margin

The product mix to recommend will be:

Basic 50,000 units

Standard 2,000 units

Deluxe 12,000 units

Calculation to determine Total contribution margin

Total contribution margin= ($3 × 50,000) + ($25 × 12,000) + ($10 × 2,000)

Total contribution margin=$150,000+$300,000+$20,000

Total contribution margin = $470,000

Therefore Total contribution margin is$470,000

2. Lereve Company has recorded the following information about the results of its operations for the fourth quarter: Sales reven

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Lereve Company

Segmented Income Statement for the fourth quarter:

Total Company Western Division Eastern Division

Sales revenues $200,000 $80,000 $120,000

Variable cost of sales 60,000 30,000 30,000

Contribution $140,000 $50,000 $90,000

Fixed costs:

Common $100,000 $25,000 $75,000

Traceable 50,000 20,000 30,000

Net Income (Loss) ($10,000) $5,000 ($15,000)

The results show that the Eastern Division made a net loss of $15,000 and the Western Division raked in a net income of $5,000, which resulted in the company-wide net loss of $10,000. This loss could be traced to the allocated common fixed costs of the division, because its contribution to fixed costs was substantial and better than the Western Division's.

Explanation:

When the results of the operations of a divisional company like Lereve Company are prepared in segmental form, the performance pictures become clearer. Management is enabled to focus on the segments or the factors that are generating the loss to the company. Perhaps, as in this case, the problem may not be with the division, but the allocation of fixed costs to the divisions. It can still be traced to the company as a whole, since it is generating much more fixed costs than it could afford from its revenue.
