1) Total Amount of Traceable Fixed Manufacturing Overhead :-
Alpha :-
= Annual Production * Traceable Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Per Unit
= 131000 * $35
= $4585000
Beta :-
= Annual Production * Traceable Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Per Unit
= 131000 * $38
= $4978000
2) Total Amount of Common Fixed Expenses = $4585000 + $3930000 = $8515000
Alpha :-
= Annual Production * Common Fixed Expenses Per Unit
= 131000 * $35
= $4585000
Beta :-
= Annual Production * Common Fixed Expenses Per Unit
= 131000 * $30
= $3930000
3) Calculation Alpha's Net Operating Income/(Loss) :-
Particulars | Amount($) |
Selling Price Per Unit | 160 |
Less : Variable Cost Per Unit (35+48+27) | (110) |
Contribution ($160-$110) | 50 |
Less: Variable Selling Expenses per unit | (32) |
Net Income Per Unit ($50-$32) | 18 |
Net Income on Additional 30000 units = 30000 * $18 = $540000
Profits Increase by $540000
4) Calculation Beta's Net Operating Income/(Loss) :-
Particulars | Amount($) |
Selling Price Per Unit | 83 |
Less : Variable Cost Per Unit ($15+$23+$25) | (63) |
Contribution ($83-$63) | 20 |
Less: Variable Selling Expenses per unit | (28) |
Net Income/(Loss) Per Unit ($20-$28) | (8) |
Net Income on Additional 2000 units = 2000 * ($8) = ($16000)
Profits decrease by $16000
