Gray Ltd wish to sell 10,000 units of its Product which has a variable cost is $20. Fixed cost is $46,000 and the required profit is $24,000. Calculate the sales price per unit.My Solution;
I tried to solved this question like this
Sales =Total Cost + ProftVariable Cost = 10,000unitsx$20 = $200,000
Sales = ($200,000+$46000)+$24000 = $270,000
Sale price per unit = $270,000/10,000units = $27 (Ans)
— — — —I need your kind help in solving both of these questions.

December 6, 2014 at 7:00 pm #218970Answer 1st Question:
MOS = (Budgeted Sales – Break-even Sales)/Budgeted Sales
20% = (5000 – Break-even Sales)/5000
1000 = 5000 – Break-even Sales
Break-even Sales = 4000
BREAK-EVEN means Contribution Margin equals Fixed Costs.
Budgeted Fixed Cost = Break-even Sales * Budgeted Contribution = 4000 * 25
= 100,000 Answer. (a)December 6, 2014 at 7:18 pm #218977Answer 2nd Question:
Sales 270000 [missing figure]
(VC) (200000) [20*10000]
CM 70000 [missing figure]
(FC) (46000) [Given in question]
Profit 24000 [Given in question]
Sale price = 270000/10000 = 27 is correct.December 7, 2014 at 11:04 pm #219238Thanks Ammar, I really appreciate it.
