hi John,
In CVP in past papers A to C and Hair. When asked to calculate the sales revenue & profit for the graph, why in AtoC do you take product C first then add c&a, then add a,c&b and subtract the fixed cost of 9000 each time?
Where in Hair it is calculated like in your lecture where you take product with highest CS take off the FC from contri and then you just add the contri from the remaining two products to get your total profit for the chart?August 26, 2017 at 4:55 pm #403675Please say which exam and which year 🙂
August 29, 2017 at 9:52 pm #404173Sorry for the delay John, A to C co is in the Becker revision questions & Hair is from ACCA D12. I understand if you do not have access to Becker I just found the example strange as it deducts the fixed costs each time you add another product & it also adds the products. E.g. Product A contribution less FC, then product A plus B total for both contribution less FC, then Product A,B,C all 3 contribution less FC.
Thank you mAugust 30, 2017 at 7:26 am #404235You are correct in that I do not have the Becker Kit and so I can’t explain why they have done what they have.
The correct way for the exam is the way I do it in my lecture (and the way the examiner’s answer to Hair does it).
