Beacon Company makes a product that has a variable cost of $25 per unit and a selling price of $45 per unit. Annual fixed costs total $860,000. Beacon's net income last year was $240,000. Beacon's management is considering lowering the selling price to $35.Required:1) How many units did Beacon sell last year?2) If Beacon Company wants to maintain the same level of income that it had last year, how many units would it have to sell at the new selling price of $35?
What will be an ideal response?
1) (Net income + Fixed costs) = Contribution margin; Contribution margin ÷ Unit contribution margin = Units sold; ($240,000 + $860,000) ÷ ($45 ? $25) = 55,000 units
2) ($240,000 + $860,000) ÷ ($35 ? $25) = 110,000 units
