Answer: $2.33
Explanation:
The unit contribution margin that is required to attain the profit target will be calculated thus:
= (Fixed cost + Desired profit) / Estimated units
= ($225,000 + $125,000) / 150,000
= $350,000 / 150,000
= $2.33
Therefore, the unit contribution margin is $2.33
Answer:
a) attached below
b) P( profit ) = TR(q) - TC(q)
c) attached below
d) -$5000 ( loss )
Explanation:
Given data:
Fixed Cost = $10,000
Material cost per unit = $0.15
Labor cost per unit = $0.10
Revenue per unit = $0.65
<u>a) Influence diagram to calculate profit </u>
attached below
<u>b) derive a mathematical model for calculating profit.</u>
VC = variable cost per unit , LC = per unit labor cost , MC = per unit marginal cost, TC = Total cost of manufacturing , FC = Fixed cost, q = quantity, TR = Total revenue, R = revenue per unit
VC = LC + MC
TC (q) = FC + ( VC * q )
TR (q) = R * q
P( profit ) = TR(q) - TC(q) ------------ ( 1 )
c) attached below
<u>d) If Cox Electrics makes 12,000 units of the new product </u>
The resulting profit = -$5000
q = 12
P = TR ( q ) - TC ( q )
= ( R * q ) - ( Fc + ( Vc * q ) )
= ( 0.65 * 12000 ) - ( 10,000 + ( 0.25 * 12000 )
= -$5200
Answer:
From zero to 33 boats option B would be best
Explanation:
Assuming the first alternative (A)is 250,000 fixed and 500 per boat
second (B) 2,500 cost per boat
and third (C) 50,000 fixed and 1,000 cost per boat
We want' to know at which level B would be the best option
we want to know when alternative C or A have a cost of 2,500 or lower:
A:


Q = 125
From this point, as fixed cost will be distribute among more units, the cost will decrease meaking C better than B
C:


Q = 33.33
From this point, as fixed cost will be distribute among more units, the cost will decrease meaking A better than B
From zero to 33 boats option B would be the best of the three options
D. is correct. Both share responsibility
