Chalmers Corporation operates in multiple areas of the globe, and relatively large price changes are common. Presently, the companysells 105,600 units for $50 per unit. The variable production costs are $20, and fixed costs amount to $2,079,000. Productionengineers have advised management that they expect unit labor costs to rise by 10 percent and unit materials costs to rise by 15percent in the coming year. Of the $20 variable costs, 25 percent are from labor and 50 percent are from materials. Variable overheadcosts are expected to increase by 20 percent. Sales prices cannot increase more than 12 percent. It is also expected that fixed costswill rise by 10 percent as a result of increased taxes and other miscellaneous fixed charges.The company wishes to maintain the same level of profit in real dollar terms. It is expected that to accomplish this objective, profitsmust increase by 8 percent during the year.Required:a. Compute the volume in units and the dollar sales level necessary to maintain the present profit level, assuming that the maximumprice increase is implemented.b. Compute the volume of sales and the dollar sales level necessary to provide the 8 percent increase in profits, assuming that themaximum price increase is implemented.c. If the volume of sales were to remain at 105,600 units, calculate the new price that would be required to attain the 8 percentincrease in profits.Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below.Required ARequired B Required CCompute the volume of sales and the dollar sales level necessary to provide the 8 percent increase in profits, assuming thatthe maximum price increase is implemented.Volume in unitsSalesPrev1 of 4wwwwwwMEENext > PerusallChalmers Corporation operates in multiple areas of the globe, and relatively large price changes are common.
