Sales                            $400                       $600                        $400                      $1,400

Variable Costs               300                         240                          120                          660

Contribution Margin       100                         360                          280                          740

Fixed Costs

  Avoidable                     120                         150                          70                            340

  Unavoidable

  (allocated on sales)       80                         120                          80                             280

Total Fixed Costs           200                        270                          150                           620

Income (loss)                 ($100)                    $90                          $130                        $120

1.) Determine total income if razors were dropped from the product line.

2.) Suppose that if razors were dropped, the sales of after-shave would decline by 20% and those of shaving cream by 10%. Determine income for the company if razors were dropped.

Explanation / Answer

1)Avoidable fixed cost will not be there for Razor

Income = Revenue - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost

= 600+400-240-120- 150-70 -280 =$140


2. Contribuion margin for After shave = 360/600 =60%

Sales for After sahve = 80%*600 =$480

Variable cost = 60%*480 =$288


Contribuion margin for Shaving cream = 280/400 =70%

Sales for After sahve = 90%*400 =$360

Variable cost = 70%*360 =$252


Income = 480+360-288-252 -150-70 -280 =-$200
