Answer
Product A additional CM = | $ 14,000 | |
Product A additional cost = | $ 13,000 | |
Product A Advantage/Disadvantage = | $ 1,000 | Advantage |
Product A sell or process further = | Process Further | |
Product B additional CM = | $ 15,000 | |
Product B additional cost = | $ 80,000 | |
Product B Advantage/Disadvantage = | $ (65,000) | Disadvantage |
Product B sell or process further = | Sell | |
Product C additional CM = | $ 54,000 | |
Product C additional cost = | $ 63,000 | |
Product C Advantage/Disadvantage = | $ (9,000) | Disadvantage |
Product C sell or process further = | Sell |
Calculations:
(Amount in $) | ||
Product A additional CM = | =(20-6)*1,000 | |
Product A additional cost = | 1,3000 | |
Product A Advantage/Disadvantage = | =14,000-13,000 | Advantage |
Product A sell or process further = | Process Further | |
Product B additional CM = | =(13-8)*3,000 | |
Product B additional cost = | 80,000 | |
Product B Advantage/Disadvantage = | =15,000-80,000 | Disadvantage |
Product B sell or process further = | Sell | |
Product C additional CM = | =(32-5)*2,000 | |
Product C additional cost = | 63,000 | |
Product C Advantage/Disadvantage = | =54,000-63,000 | Disadvantage |
Product C sell or process further = | Sell |
