Retail outlet sales expected to increase by 30%..assumed opened at beginning of 6th month. Calculate the effect on expected profits for the current year, calculate new break-even point.

Explanation / Answer

Let number of Grade 1 and Grade II sold this year be 3x and 7x sales from Grade 1 = 3x*3,400 = $10200x sales from Grade II = 7x*1,600 = $11200x $10200x + $11200x = $1.6 billion x = 74766.355 number of Grade 1 sold = 224299.0654 number of Grade II sold = 523364.49 1. Breakeven Revenue = variable cost + fixed cost 3x*3,400 +7x*1,600 = 3x*2,686 +7x*1,323 + 95,000 + 95,000 2142x + 1939x = 190000 x = 46.557 number of Grade 1 sold = 46.557*3 = 140 number of Grade II sold =46.557*7= 326
