- June 6, 2012 at 8:52 am #53151Can you please explain the figures in ques 1 (ii). June 6, 2012 at 2:55 pm #99286I think it would be hard for me to improve on the explanation given in the ACCA model answer. Give me one number you need to have explained. June 7, 2012 at 3:31 pm #99287Oh my you are right. CPU demand 500, Package 1…..62, 972 AND Profit under demand 500, Package 1…..4, 557, 302 June 8, 2012 at 4:42 am #99288CPU, Package 1, 500 demanded: 62,972 = 11,412 + 9,500 + 8,450 + 4,810 +13,800 +7,500,000/500, ie full cost. Variable cost per unit = 11,412 + 9,500 + 8,450 + 4,810 +13,800 = 47972 19% mark-up = 0.19 x 47972 = 9,114.68, profit per unit 
 9114.68 x 500 units = 4,557,340 (rounding difference compared to ACCA answer).HTH December 3, 2012 at 2:52 am #99289Hi, 
 May i know if i used the expected value in my maximax, maximin and minimax regret will gain mark for the calculation?Thanks! December 3, 2012 at 7:30 am #99290Expected value plays no part in maximax etc, so you wouldn’t get many, or any, marks. May 13, 2013 at 11:33 pm #125391Anonymous Inactive- Topics: 0

 Please somebody help me with my question May 14, 2013 at 5:51 am #125401CPU, Package 2, 500 demanded: 65,472 = 11,412 + 9,500 + 8,450 + 4,810 +13,800 +8,750,000/500, ie full cost. 
 Variable cost per unit = 11,412 + 9,500 + 8,450 + 4,810 +13,800 = 47972
 19% mark-up = 0.19 x 47972 = 9,114.68, profit per unit
 9114.68 x 500 units = 4,557,340 = package 1 profit, before 7,500,000 fixed costs (rounding difference compared to ACCA answer).Package 2 has same variable costs and markup, but its fixed costs are 1,250,000 higher and so its profit is q,250,000 lower than package 1; similarly, package 3 is 2,500,000 lower profits than Package 1 because fixed costs are $2,500,000 higher.
