C) No change
D) increase by $3200
E) increase by $7200
You have the following data for product X: sales revenue is $10000, variable costs are $4000, allocated fixed costs are $3000. If you drop product X in the long term total profit will:
A) decrease by $6000
B)decrease by $3000
C) remain the same
D) increase by $3000
E) increase by $6000
Explanation for answers please
A |
Sale price per unit |
$ 10.00 |
B |
Unit Variable cost |
$ 6.00 |
C=A-B |
Contribution margin |
$ 4.00 |
D |
Fixed cost |
$ 1,000.00 |
E=D/C |
Break Even point in Units |
250 |
Hence the correct answer is Option B: 250 units
A |
Direct labor cost per unit |
$ 4.00 |
B |
Allocation rate |
$5 per DL $ |
C=A x B |
Overhead allocated |
$ 20.00 |
D |
Direct materail |
$ 10.00 |
E |
Direct labor |
$ 4.00 |
F |
Variable Overhead |
$ 2.00 |
G=C+D+E+F |
Total Cost |
$ 36.00 |
H |
Unit Sale price |
$ 40.00 |
I=H-G |
Profit margin per unit |
$ 4.00 |
Hence, the correct answer is Option A: $ 4 per unit
A |
Current Sale price |
$ 40.00 |
$ 50.00 |
B |
Units Sold |
1000 |
800 |
C=AxB |
Sales Revenue |
$ 40,000.00 |
$ 40,000.00 |
D |
Variable cost |
$ 16,000.00 |
$ 12,800.00 |
E=C-D |
Contribution margin |
$ 24,000.00 |
$ 27,200.00 |
Contribution margin increases from $24,000 to $27,200 (increases by $ 3,200)
Hence, correct answer is Option D: Increases by $3,200
If product X is dropped, the contribution margin earned will be lost.
Contribution margin = $10000 sales revenue - $ 4000 variable cost = $ 6,000
Hence, profit will decrease by $ 6,000 [Option A]
