a. Gary reports that the 'net income per unit' for September was 6.85 $ (which he obtained by $ 6850 /1000 units) and for October it is $ 8.07 (ie 12500/1500 units). However Net income is arrived at after considering Fixed Costs which remains constant regardless of the output. Thus the error Gary did was not using "Contribution margin per Unit" for comparison of both the months. However this has been done in 'b' below.
b.
September | October | |||
Total Amt | Per Unit | Total Amt | Per Unit | |
Sales | 25000 | 25000/1000 = 25 | 37500 | 37500/1500= 25 |
- Variable Costs | ||||
COGS | 10000 | 10000/1000 = 10 | 15000 | 15000/1500 = 10 |
Shipping | 1250 | 1250/1000 = 1.25 | 1875 | 1875/1500 = 1.25 |
Wages | 3000 | 3000/1000 = 3 | 4500 | 4500/1500 = 3 |
Advertisement | 250 | 250/1000 = 0.25 | 375 | 375/1500 = 0.25 |
Contribution Margin (A) | 10500 | 10.5 | 15750 | 10.5 |
Rent | 1500 | CONSTANT | 1500 | CONSTANT |
Wages | 500 | 500 | ||
utilities | 750 | 750 | ||
Advertisement | 500 | 500 | ||
Insurance | 400 | 400 | ||
Total Fixed Costs (B) | 3650 | 3650 | ||
Net Income (A- B) | 6850 | 12100 |
Thus, it is clear that Contribution per Unit is $ 10.5 in both the months. Fixed Costs are constant.
