b) 4255
c) 4545
d) 5000
Correct Answer : Option a) 4000 | ||||
Working Notes : | ||||
Sales | 200000 | |||
Selling Price | 200000/5000 | 40 | ||
New Selling Price | (200000*1.10)/5000 | 44 | ||
Variable Cost | 120000/5000 | 24 | ||
Target Units | (fixed cost + profit) /contribution margin | |||
= | (60000+20000)/20 | |||
= | 80000/20 | |||
= | 4000 | units | ||
Contribution margin = | selling price per unit - variable cost per unit | |||
= | 44-24 | |||
= | 20 | |||
