Question

In January, Gamma Company sold 2,000 units of its product at a price of $20 per unit. Its COGS (cost of goods sold) for January totaled $20,000, and its SG&A (selling, general and administrative) costs totaled $16,000. If Gamma Company is expecting to sell 2,200 units in February, how much is the expected profit for February? (assume that the sales price will not change, and that 2,200 units is in the relevant range

Answer 1

The expected profit for February is $6,000

Step-by-step explanation:

It is assumed that the COGS is the variable cost and SG&A is the fixed cost.

First we need to determine the sale value of February

Sales = Selling Price x Number of Units sold = $20 per unit x 2,200 = $44,000

Now Calculate the COGS

COGS = Numbers of units sold x COGS per unit = 2,200 units x $20,000 / 2,000 = $22,000

As the SG&A is assumed to be a fixed cost, so it will remains the same.

Now calculate the Expected Profit for February

Profit = Sales - COGS - SG&A = $44,000 - $22,000 - $16,000 = $6,000
