Contribution | 11.6 | ||
Note 1) the variable cost of wool yarn has been taken to compute the contribution of the sweater. This is because the entire manufacturing cost is sunk cost and would not change irrespective of the continuance of production or not. | |||
Based on the above calculation, it is evident that the if the yarn is further processed into sweater, there will be an increase in contribution by $14 - $11.60 = $2.40, even when the selling price has been reduced from normal $47 to $37. | |||
1-b) | |||
the yarn should be further processed into sweaters. | |||
2) | |||
If the company produces sweater, then it will be loosing the opportunity of making contribution of $ 11.60 per yarn. So the lowest price that should be accepted by the company for a sweater | |||
= variable cost of making the sweater + contribution foregone for not selling yarn | |||
$23.00 + $11.60 = $34.60 | |||
