Explanation / Answer

Cost of goods sold ( variable ) = 580608 - 134784 = 445824

Variable cost of goods sold per unit = 445824 / 64800 = 6.88

Variable period cost = 168480 - 78408 = 90072

Variable period cost per unit = 90072 / 64800 = 1.39

Total variable cost = 6.88 + 1.39 = 8.27

QUESTION - 5

Profit on special order = 4970 Units * ( 12 - 8.27 ) + 4% ( 17 - 12) * 4970  = 19532.1...............final answer

When sales commision is on the basis of sales revenue, there should be decrease in such expenses, becuase selling price decreased from 17 to 12. So saving in such expenses is added to profit.

QUESTON - 6

Profit as above + saving in variable cost + saving in sales commision.

19532.1 + 4970 * 0.70 + 4% * 12 * 4970 = 23011.1 + 2385.6 = 25396.7..................final answer
