Solution
Answer of Part 1: The correct answer is A i.e. $4
 Budgeted Selling price per unit = Master Sales / Master unit sales
 Budgeted Selling price per unit = $100,000 / 10,000
 Budgeted Selling price per unit = $10
Budgeted Variable Costs per unit = Master Variable Cost / Master unit
 Budgeted Variable Cost per unit = $60,000 / 10,000
 Budgeted Variable cost per unit = $6
Budgeted Contribution Margin per unit = Budgeted Selling price per unit – Budgeted Variable cost per unit
 Budgeted Contribution Margin per unit = $10 - $6
 Budgeted Contribution Margin per unit = $4
Answer of Part 2: The correct answer is C i.e. $23,000
Budgeted Contribution Margin = $4 * 12,000
 Budgeted Contribution Margin = $48,000
Operating Income = Budgeted Contribution Margin – Master Fixed Costs
 Operating Income = $48,000 - $25,000
 Operating Income = $23,000
