Hi Sir,
For Q1 (ii), when we are required to calculate the number of units to cover the lost operating profit, why audit costs (0.5) and marketing campaign (0.8) are not included in calculating return from each unit?

Hi Sir, one more question for Q1(iii).

Query 1: these costs have been included when working out the new contribution per unit.
Query 2: Question Appendix 1, 2015, operating profit = 71m

Hi sir, regarding to Query 1, the new contribution per unit of $51.9 is derived from [75 – 21 – (21 x 10%)].
The audit cost and marketing campaigns are not included, right?

These are incremental fixed costs.
Old cost structure = 75 – 21 = 54 contribution
New cost structure = 75 – 1.1 x21 = 51.9
If volume didn’t change, operating profit would be down 5.5m
Extra units needed to cover that loss = 5.5/5199 = 105,973
