So, I feel like this question is easy but my answers are not coming out the same as the answers given.
My workings for current situation:
Materials
3kg x 5000 units = 15000kg
£5 per 3kg = £25000
Labour
6 hrs x 5000 units = 30000 hrs
£10 per 6 hrs = £50000
Sales
5000 units x £150 = £750000
Fixed costs
£277500
Profit = 397500, whereas the answer given is £300,000 less than this?!

Sales revenue = 5000 x £150 = £750000
Materials: 3x£5=£15 x 5000 units = £75,000
Labour: 6 x £10=£60 x 5000 units = £300,000
Fixed costs £277500
Profit is £750,000 - £75,000 -£ 300,000 - £277,500 = £97,5005 -
Thank you. Although, I feel like this question is really poorly worded because I understood that to mean "3kg at £5" as 3kg costing £5. It should read "3kg at £5 per kg"!CornishPixie said:Sales revenue = 5000 x £150 = £750000

Yes, I agree that the questions are not always that clear. I'm afraid it doesn't get any easier0
