Help 200 points for every one sold to an intenational charit
Solution
Total variable cost = 4 + 3.5 + 0.60 + 4 = $ 12.10
Selling Price = 35
Question 1 (a) Contribution margin per unit = Selling Price - Variable cost = 35 - 12.10 = 22.90 per unit
Question 1 (b) Contribution lost = varible cost invested in the product = -12.10 per Unit
Question 1(c) Weighted average contribution = 22.90 * 1/2 + ( - 12.10 * 1/2) = 5.4 per unit
Question 1 (d) Total number of units to be sold to breakeven = Fixed cost / Weighted average contribution per unit.
= 140,600 / 5.4 per units
= 26037.03............ this must be rounded to next even number, since number sold = number donated
= 26038
Question - 2
If the target profit = 23,300, we need a total contribution of 140,600 + 23300 = 163,900
Weighted average Contribution per unit needed = 163900 / 11000 shirts = 14.90 per Unit
Let X = Selling price of the shirt needed
(X - 12.10) * 1/2 + ( -12.10)*1/2 = 14.90
(X - 12.10) * 1/2 = 20.95
(X - 12.10) = 41.9
X = 54 per unit ..................is the final answer
Question - 3
If Selling price = 45, we have weighted average contribution per unit = (45-12.10) * 1/2 + ( - 12.10 * 1/2) = 10.40
Total number of units sold = 22000 units ( i.e 11000 + 11000)
Profit = 22000 * 10.40 - 140600 = 88,200
If Selling price = 65, we have weighted average contribution per unit = ( 65 - 12.10) * 1/2 + ( - 12.10 * 1/2) = 20.40
Total number of units sold = 13000 ( i.e 6500 + 6500)
Profit = 13000 * 20.4 - 140600 = 124600
So we should select the profit maximizing price = 65..........final answer
| Sold | 13019 |
| Donated | 13019 |
| Total | 26038 |
