Solution
CE 22-2
Part a.
Original net income:
Sales (15,000 units @$60 per unit)…………………………………$900,000
Alternative #1
New Selling price = $60 + (2.5% x $60) = $61.50
Alternative #2
New variable costs = 49% x $900,000 = $441,000
$900,000 - $441,000 – 202,500 = $256,500
Alternative 2 results in the highest net income.
Net income under long term option:
Sales (15,750 units @ $59 per unit)…………………………………$929,250
Less: Variable Costs (15,750 @ $29.50) per unit)………………….464,625
