Selling price

ZZara4y ago
Budgeted output is 16000 and budgeted contribution is 14$ per unit. Budgeted profit is 140000 and budgeted variable cost are equal to fixed costs, what is the selling price per unit? Answer 14x16000= 224000 then 140000+224000=364000 364000/16000= 22.75 I am confused how do you find selling price per unit with the above data

The budgeted contribution = 16,000 x $14 = $224,000. Profit = contribution - fixed costs, and therefore the fixed cost is 224,000 - 140,000 = $84,000. Therefore the variable cost also equals $84,000. Contribution = sales less variable cost, and therefore the sales = 140,000 + 84,000 = $224,000. There are 16,000 units and therefore the selling price per unit = 224,000 / 16,000 = $14. Again, why are you attempting questions for which you do not have the answers?

You added 140000+84000, You shoud add 224000+84000 Because contribution is 224000 not 140000 ,140000 is fixed cost.

The fixed cost is not 140,000 and the answer above is correct.
