Answer #1

Answer for a)

Contribution per unit:Selling price-variable cost of material-labour variable costs-Variable overhead cosrs

Of company 1:$3.00-$0.75-$0.75-$0.30=$1.20

Of company 2:$3.00-$0.80-$1.25-$0.35=$0.60

Break even point:Fixed costs/contribution per unit

For company 1:$960000/$1.20=800000 units

For company 2=$252000/$0.20=420000 units

Answer for b)

Company 2 reaches break even soon as they need to sell only 420000 units which is even higher quantity for company 2.

Answer for 3)

Profit or loss after adjustmenst as 129000 decks:

(No. Of units sold×contribution per unit)- fixed Costs

=[129000units×($4.00-$1.20-$1.25-$0.35)]-$195000

=($40200) loss.
