Please may you help as I thought for you to get profit ypu need to subract the fixed overheads...This is how I did it but as per the answers the fixed overheads were not included not sure why though please may you help?
Sales (477500*11) 5 252 500
Less COS
Materials 2 010 250
Labour Basic +Overtime 1 318 039
Variable overheads 987 930
Fixed overheads 750 000
Profit 186 281
Therefore the profit per instrument is £186 281/477 500 sales volume = £0.39 per instrument
The profit percentage is (£186 281/ £5 252 500) *100 =3.54%

Re Pcr
I think the reason why you are confuse is because you put Variable overhead figure 750,000, This figure was already on the overhead cost which gives a total of 987,930, therefore, Total production cost 4316219/467500 = 9.23%. Hope this help a bit0 -

thanks, i have hoever tried it again without th fixed overheards and the answer still is wrong.it would be sales-variables =5252500 - 4316219 =936 281/477 500 giving us 1,960 -
You may have over complicated it (I do it all the time) unless I'm missing something. To get the profit per unit you only have to deduct the unit cost which was £9.23 in 1.2 (h) from the given sales price of £11.00 = £1.77. The percentage is £1.77/£11.00 x 100 = 16.09%
Does this help?0 -
