The President of XYZ Ltd. is unhappy with the quality of the product and wants to make some changes in 2021. The current data, based on sales of $100,000 are:
Sales price per unit $10.00
Total VC per unit $5.50
Total FC $250,000
She proposes improving the quality of the product by increasing variable costs by $0.75/unit and raising the selling price per unit by $0.50. She expects that sales will increase by 7.5%. What would be the increase in pre-tax income if these changes are made?
answer)if the proposed change implemented,the total loss wil reduced by $687.50
calculation:-
particulars | before change($) | after change($) |
sales revenue | 100000 | 112875 |
less:variable costs | 55000 | 67187.5 |
contribution | 45000 | 45687.5 |
less:fixed costs | 250000 | 250000 |
net income/(loss) | -205000 | -204312.5 |
note:-
1)selling price per unit after change=$10+$0.50=$10.50
2)variable cost per unit after change=$5.50+$0.75=$6.25
3) units sold before change=$100000/$10=10000 units
units sold after change=10000 units +7.5%=10750 units
