1.a.
Current | Proposed | |
Sales | (100*3700)=$370,000 | (370,000+17500)=$387500 |
Variable expenses | (61*3700)=225700 | (387500*61%)=236375 |
Contribution margin | 144300 | 151125 |
Fixed expenses | 80,000 | (80,000+8500)=88500 |
Net operating income | 64300 | 62625 |
Hence decrease in net operating income=64300-62625
=$(1675)
b.Hence higher quality components should not be used
2.a.
Current | Proposed | |
Unit sales | 3700 | (3700*1.15)=4255 |
Sales | (100*3700)=$370,000 | (4255*100)=425500 |
Variable expenses | (61*3700)=225700 | 4255*(61+3)=272320 |
Contribution margin | 144300 | 153180 |
Fixed expenses | 80,000 | 80,000 |
Net operating income | 64300 | 73180 |
Hence increase in net operating income=73180-64300
=$8880
b.Hence higher quality components should be used
