Kramer is developing next year’s budget. Next year, the company is planning to decrease selling prices by 10%, and as a result, expects an increase in sales volume of 15%. All other operating expenses are expected to remain constant.
Calculate Kramer’s expected operating income for next year
Total sales = $1,824,000
Number of units sold = 304,000
Selling price per unit = Total sales / Number of units sold
= 1,824,000/304,000
= $6
Total variable cost = $1,216,000
Variable cost per unit = Total variable cost/ Number of units sold
= 1,216,000/304,000
= $4
For next year
Decrease in selling price per unit = 10%
Net selling price per unit = 6 - 6 x 10%
= 6- 0.6
= $5.4
Increase in sales = 15%
New sales = 304,000+ 304,000 x 15%
= 349,600
