Answer:

$3,997

Explanation:

As we know that

Total profit = Total revenue - total cost

where,

Total revenue =  Output sells for × quantity sold

                        = $20 × 499 units

                        = $9,980

And, the total cost is

= Total cost at 500 units - marginal cost of the 500th unit

= 500 units × $12 - $17

= $6,000 - $17

= $5,983

So, the total profit is

= $9,980 - $5,983

= $3,997

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

d. $90,000, $60,000, $30,000 respectively.

Explanation:

The computation of price allocated is shown below:-

Ratio of values $90,000 : $60,000 : $30,000

= 3 : 2 : 1

Total cost = $180,000

Equipment = $180,000 × 3 ÷ 6

= $90,000

Installation= $180,000 × 2 ÷ 6

= $60,000

Training = $180,000 × 1 ÷ 6

= $30,000

Therefore the Equipment, Installation, Training is $90,000, $60,000, $30,000 respectively.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

1.                                            Variable           Fixed

Cost of goods sold          70,000,000     30,000,000

Selling Expenses             12,000,000        4,000,000

Administrative Exp.           6,000,000         6,000,000

Total                                  88,000,000     40,000,000

Note:

Cost of goods sold 70% 30% on 10,000,000 for variable and Fixed respectively

Selling expenses 75% 25% on $16,000,000 for variable and Fixed respectively

Administrative expenses 50% 50% on $12,000,000 for variable and Fixed respectively

2. Unit Variable cost = Total variable cost / Units produced

Total Variable cost          88,000,000

Unit produced                  <u>1,000,000</u>

Unit variable cost             <u>      88      </u>

<u />

Unit Contribution margin = Selling Price - Variable cost per unit

Selling Price                        $188

- Variable cost per unit       <u>$88</u>

Unit Contribution margin   <u>$100</u>

<u />

3. Break even Point (Units) = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit

Fixed cost                                    40,000,000

Contribution margin per Unit        <u>   100    </u>

Break even Point (Units)               <u>400,000</u>

<u />

4. Break even point (units) = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit

Fixed cost                                           40,000,000

Increased Fixed cost                           <u>5,000,000</u>

Total New fixed cost                          45,000,000

Contribution margin per unit              <u>     100       </u>

Break even point (units)                      <u>450,000</u>

<u />

5. Determined sales units = (New fixed cost + Desired Income) / Contribution margin

New Fixed Cost                45,000,000

Desired Income                <u>60,000,000</u>

                                         105,000,000

Contribution margin          <u>      100         </u>

per unit

Determined sales units    <u>  1,050,000</u>

<u />

6. Maximum Income from operation = Total New sales - Total New variable cost - Total Fixed cost

Sales                               188,000,000

Increased sales               <u>11,280,000</u>

Total New sales              199,289,000

Variable cost                    88,000,000

New Variable cost             5,280,000

Total New Variable cost   93,280,000

Total New Fixed cost       <u>45,000,000</u>

Maximum Income from   <u>61,000,000</u>

operation

Number of units = Increase in sales / Price per unit

New variable cost = Number of units * Unit variable cost

Increased sales                    11,280,000

Price per unit                         <u>    188     </u>

Number of units                      60,000

Unit variable cost x                  <u>88.00</u>

New Variable cost                 <u>5,280,000</u>

<u />

7. Net income = Sales - Variable cost - New fixed cost

Sales                           188,000,000

Less: Variable cost      88,000,000

Less: New fixed cost   <u>45,000,000</u>

Net Income                  <u>55,000,000</u>

<u />

8. Option b. In favour of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operation.
