Using your answers to questions 1-4 (but not 5) as the base, what is the resulting nevw increase in profit because of the additional 4% reduction in COGS? How much does the Marketing department need to increase sales in order to match the new increase in profit? 7.Explanation / Answer
1. What is the new COGS after the 8% negotiated reduction = 9350000*(1-8%) = $ 8,602,000
2. What is the resulting new profit = 10000000 - 8602000 = $ 1,398,000
3. What is the difference between the old and new profit, both in terms of dollar amount and percentage? (also known as the reduction in COGS)
In dollars = 1398000 - 650000 = $ 748,000
In percentage = 748000/10000000 = 7.5%
4. What is the new contribution to profit = 748,000
6. Resulting new increase in profit because of additional 4% reduction in COGS = 8602000*4% = $ 344,080
7. After 8% COGS reduction, the new profit is 13.98 % of Sales
Total profit after new increase in profit = 1398000+344080 = 1742080
Therefore, Sales needed to achieve the new increase in profit = 1742080/13.98% = $ 12,461,230
To match the new increase in profit, Marketing needs to increase sales by = 12461230-10000000 = $ 2,461,230
