Accounting

Sales mix One product produced and sold by Outfitters Inc. is a sleeping bag for which annual projections are as follows:

Projected volume in units. 120,000

Sales price per unit. $60

Variable production cost per unit $25

Variable selling cost per unit. $12

Fixed production cost $805,000

Fixed selling and administration costs $435,000

a. Compute the projected pre-tax profit to be earned on the sleeping bags during the year.

b. Corporate management estimates that unit volume could be increased by 20 percent if sales price were decreased by 10 percent. How would such a change affect the profit level projected in (a)?

c. Rather than cutting the sales price, management is considering holding the sales price at the projected level and increasing advertising by $185,000. Such a change would increase volume by 20 percent. How would the level of profit under this alternative compare to the profit pro-jected in (a)?
