Solutions

Expert Solution

(a)

Total Fixed cost in 2010 = $858000 + $320000 = $1178000

Net Income required in 2010 = $172000

Hence total contribution margin required in 2010 = Fixed costs + Net Income = $1178000 + $172000 = $1350000

Cost of goods sold in 2010 = $720000 + (18000 *$8) = $864000

Total Variable cost in 2010 = $864000 + $198000 = $1062000

Sales = Contribution margin + Total Variable costs = $1350000 + $1062000 = $2412000

Hence price Colgate should charge to obtain same profit as last year = $2412000 /18000 units = $134 per unit

(b)

Sales (24000 units * $109) $2,616,000

Less : Variable cost

Cost of goods sold (24000 units * $48) $1,152,000

Selling and admin expenses (24000 units * $11) $264,000

Contribution margin $1,200,000

Less : Fixed costs

Manufacturing Overhead $858,000

Selling and admin expenses $320,000

Expected profit $22,000

(c)

Total Fixed cost in 2010 = $858000 + $320000 = $1178000

Net Income required in 2010 = $172000

Hence total contribution margin required in 2010 = Fixed costs + Net Income = $1178000 + $172000 = $1350000

Contribution per units = Sale price per unit - Cost of goods sold per unit - selling & admin exp.per unit = $109 - $48 - $11 = $50 per unit

Sales volume needed = $1350000 / $50 = 27000 units
