Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                        Alternative 1     Alternative 2

Units to be sold:

Sale of light-weight winter coat                                  35,700

Sale of medium weight winter coat   55,500            50,200

Sale of heavy weight winter coat      80,200             70,800

Total coats sold                                 135,700           156,700

Selling prices:

Lightweight winter coat = $190 per coat

Medium weight winter coat = $250 per coat

Heavy weight winter coat = $320 per coat

Revenue from Sales:

                                             Alternative 1     Alternative 2      Increment

Units to be sold:

Light-weight winter coat                                 $6,783,000       $6,783,000

                                                                                 (35,700*$190)

Medium weight winter coat $13,875,000      12,550,000        (1,325,000)

                                                 (55,500*$250)       (50,200*$250)

Heavy weight winter coat    25,664,000      22,656,000       (3,008,000)

                                                 (80,200*$320)        (70,800*$320)

Total sales revenue           $39,539,000     $41,989,000      $2,450,000

b) The computations show that Clothing Company would earn additional $2,450,000 in revenue if it embarked on the new project of making and selling 35,700 lightweight winter coats.
