Explanation:
For situation 1, we need to recalculate the no of units sold i.e.
35000 units * 113 % = 39,550 units, the rest of the information flows from the data in the question.
For situation 2, we need to recalculate the no of units sold i.e.
35000 units * 123 % = 43,050 units, we also need to change the selling price by $ 1.50 per unit, i.e.
$ 8 - $ 1.50 = $ 6.50 per unit
The rest of the information flows from the data in the question.
For situation 3, we need to make the following changes in the data assumptions.
Recalculate the no of units sold i.e. decrease of 3 %. so the new number of units are
35,000 units * 97 % = 33,950 units
increase in selling price by $ 1.50 per unit, thus the new selling price is
$ 8 + $ 1.50 per unit = $ 9.50 per unit
Increase in Fixed expense by $ 8,000, so the revised fixed costs are
$ 41,000 + $ 8,000 = $ 49,000
For situation 4 we need to make the following changes in the data assumptions.
Recalculate the no of units sold i.e. decrease of 5 %. so the new number of units are
35,000 units * 95 % = 33,250 units
increase in selling price by 20% per unit, thus the new selling price is
$ 8 * 120 %+ = $ 9.60 per unit
Increase in variable costs per unit by $ 0.10 per unit so the new variable cost is $ 5 + $ 0.10 = $5.10 per unit
