2. Atlas Corporation sells 100 bicycles during a month at a price of $500 per unit. The variable expenses amount to $300 per bicycle. How much does profit increase if it sells one more bicycle?
a. $500
b. $300
c. $200
d. $20,200

Answer 1

The answers are:

1. A) $12,000
2. C) $200

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To calculate the profit of Atlas corporation we use the following formula:

Profit = (contribution margin x units sold) - fixed expenses =

Profit = $20,000 - $8,000 = $12,000

2) We must calculate the contribution margin of one bicycle using the following formula:

contribution margin (1 bike) = selling price p/unit - variable expenses p/unit =

contribution margin (1 bike) = $500 - $300 = $200
