In: Accounting
Sugar Corp has a selling price of $28, variable costs of $18 per unit, and fixed costs of $22,000. Maple expects profit of $308,000 at its anticipated level of production. If Sugar sells 5,800 units more than expected, how much higher will its profits be?
$58,000
$162,400
$308,000
$250,000
The expected higher profit = Contribution Margin Per Unit * Additional Units
= (Sale Price Per Unit - Variable Cost Per Unit) * Additional Units
= ($28 - $10) * 5,800 units
= $10 * 5,800 units
= $58,000
The expected higher profit = $58,000
So correct answer is option (1) or $58,000
