Hello John, For question 4, why is the option 1 not correct. In the multiple product profit volume chart, we drew lines for contribution of each product. Ranking them based on their contribution per unit of scarce resource.
@shannLam We take the highest and lowest outputs (i.e. units produced) and the costs related to those outputs. In the example, highest output is 22,080 , lowest output is 19,200 so we take the related $960,000 and $885,120, respectively.
highest output – lowest output / cost of highest output – cost of lowest output = cost/unit
Could you please give me the solution for this one:
The fixed costs have increased from $ 40,000 to $ 120,000 and the variable cost increased from $12 per unit to $22 per unit. Then what would be the number of units?

Hi Sir,
Can you say why for question #3 we used $885,120 (units 19,200) instead of 883,200 (20,160 units) ?

Making another 7 means that they are making 8 in total. Making 8 involves doubling 3 times.
Have you watched the free lectures on this?
