Question

Jaheem's business sells a single product. The following information was gathered from Jaheem's records: Price $24.00 per unit Variable costs are 61% of sales price The company's fixed costs are $400,000 annually Current sales total is 41,000 units Target profit before tax $22,000 Budgeted sales total is 48,000 units By how much will profit increase with the sale of each unit in Jaheem's business

Answer 1

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

With regards to the above, Jaheem's business profit increase is calculated as

= Fixed cost + Desired profit/Contribution margin

Given that;

Fixed cost = $400,000

Desire profit = $22,000

Contribution margin = $9.4

= $400,000 + $22,000/($24 - $14.6)

= $422,000/$9.4

= $44,894

Therefore, increase on profit

= $44,894 - $22,000

= $22,894
