| Question 2: HIGH-LOW COST ANALYSIS | ||||||||||||||
| month | kilowatt hours used | cost($) | ||||||||||||
| january | 1866 | 230 | To find variable cost of the electricity, Variable cost per hour =y2-y1/x2-x1 where y2 is the highest cost and X2 is its corresponding kilowatt hours while Y1 is the lowest cost and X1 is its kilowatts used. | variable cost | ||||||||||
| february | 1439 | 202 | y2 | $230 | 102.9517241379 | |||||||||
| march | 1146 | 197 | y1 | $182 | 79.3931034483 | |||||||||

| may | 996 | 182 | x1 | 996 | 57.7103448276 | |||||||||
| june | 1760 | 225 | y2-y1 | $48 | 54.9517241379 | |||||||||
| x2-x1 | 870 | 97.1034482759 | ||||||||||||
| Variable cost per unit | 0.0551724138 HP: variable cost per unit of the electricity | 455.3379310345 HP: the total variable cost of the electricity |
||||||||||||
| Total fixed cost =$230- variable cost of this activity, TFC=$230-(1866* variable cost per unit) | ||||||||||||||
| variable cost for 1866 | 102.9517241379 | |||||||||||||
| Total fixed cost | $127.05 HP: this is the fixed cost for the electricity |
|||||||||||||
| question four: Daily contribution margin income | ||||||||||||||
| The following are the assumptions before developing daily contribution margin income, we assume that the 120 cookies are produces, fixed cost is 40% of the variable cost, each cookie is sold at $0.5 each and the administrative and selling expenses are equal to zero. | ||||||||||||||
| revenue | variable cost | fixed cost | total cost | operating income | contribution margin | contribution margin ratio | contribution margin% | |||||||
| 60 | 18 | 7.2 | 25.2 | 34.8 HP: operating income= revenue- total cost | 42 HP: contribution margin is the opeariong income plus fixed cost |
HP: variable cost per unit of the electricity |
HP: total variable cost |
HP: this is the fixed cost for the electricity | 0.7 | 70 | ||||
| question five: break-even analysis | ||||||||||||||
| To break-even, TR=TC, where the total cost is $25.2( fixed cost+ variable cost). Given that cost per cookie is $0.5, and TR=P*Q, the break-even will be, 0.5q=25.2, which give Q as 50. Therefore, the number of cookies needed to break-even per day are 50. | ||||||||||||||
| The break-even sales dollars each day= break-even sales*price of each cookie. This means , 50*0.5= $25. | ||||||||||||||
| To earn daily profit of $100, by using the following formula 100=0.5q-(7.2+0.15q), by solving for q, the Q appears to be 265 cookies.This is not realistic becauese we aonly produce 120 cookies thus we cannot sell what is not available. | ||||||||||||||
| Cost per cookie is not $.50. You stated the selling price was $.50. Ths makes your calculation inacccurate |
