Hello, I have the following question. D&R Corp. has annual revenues of $284,000, an average contribution margin of 35%, and fixed expenses of $100,500. A. Management is considering adding a new product to the company's product line.  The new item will have $8.6 of variable costs per unit.  Calculate the selling price that will be required if this product is not to affect the average contribution margin ratio.  (I got $13.23 per unit). B. If the new product adds an additional $31,300 to D&R's fixed expenses, how many units of the new product must be sold at the price calculated in part A to break-even on the new product?  (Do not round immediate calculations). C. If 28,800 units of the new product could be sold at a price of $13.8 per unit, and the company's other business did not change, calculate D&R's total operating income and average contribution margin ratio. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.  Round average contribution margin ratio to 2 decimal places). Thanks.

Hello,

I have the following question.

D&R Corp. has annual revenues of $284,000, an average contribution margin of 35%, and fixed expenses of $100,500.

A. Management is considering adding a new product to the company's product line.  The new item will have $8.6 of variable costs per unit.  Calculate the selling price that will be required if this product is not to affect the average contribution margin ratio.  (I got $13.23 per unit).

B. If the new product adds an additional $31,300 to D&R's fixed expenses, how many units of the new product must be sold at the price calculated in part A to break-even on the new product?  (Do not round immediate calculations).

C. If 28,800 units of the new product could be sold at a price of $13.8 per unit, and the company's other business did not change, calculate D&R's total operating income and average contribution margin ratio. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.  Round average contribution margin ratio to 2 decimal places).

Thanks.
