    Statement showing calculation of current income

    Particulars Amount

    Sales (60000x90) $5400000

    Less Material cost (60000x$35) $2100000

    Less: labour cost (60000x$12) $720000

    Less: Variable Overhead (60000x$8) $480000

    Less: Variable selling and admin Exp. (60000x$15) $900000

    Less: Fixed overhead $300000

    Less: Fixed selling and admin expenses $480000

    Net inome $420000

    Proposed increase in Selling price = $98/unit

    Resultant decrease in production = 10%X60000 = 6000 units

    Revised income = 54000 (98-35-12-8-15) - 300000 - 480000

    = $732000

    Maximum amount that can be spent on advertising so as to manitain the current level of income of $420000 is $312000 (i. e., $732000-$420000).

    Available for advertizing campaing 480,000

    Explanation:

    First we calculate the current operating income:

    sales price less all uniit operating cost

    90 - 35 - 12 - 8 - 5 - 15 - 8 = 7

    $7 x 60,000 units = $420,000 operating income

    Now we calculate the new contribution margin and operating income

    materials + labor + variable overhead + variable sale = total variable

    35 + 12 + 8 + 15 = 70

    new contribution margin per unit

    98 - 70 = 28

    sales 60,000 units less 10% = 54,000 units

    contribution margin

    28 x 54,000 = 1,512,000

    Fixed overhead 300,000

    Fixed selling and adming 480,000

    operating income 732,000

    Potential contribution from additional sales:

    6,000 units x $28 = 168,000

    Less: before raising income (420,000)
