PDSY Assessment 1 Task 1.4

Registered Posts: 25
Hi all,
I am having some difficulity in working out the answers for Task 1.4 on Assessment 1 of PDSY. I have attached the question in excel format, and there are a further 2 questions on this task asking for the best price out of products, as well as a written question to discuss the potential impact of proposed policy on the business.
I might be having a complete blonde moment, but could really do with some guidance (exam fast approaching, and not a lot of confidence!).
Many thanks in advance,

Ok so first you need to work out your marginal costs.
You are told that the variable element of production overheads is equal to 15% of the direct costs. Therefore, for NP1, your direct costs are £18.00 + 15% = £20.70. For NP2, it will be £42.00 + 15% = £48.30
Now use this information to work out the rest.
So to undercut the competition
NP1 The competition is £21.00 x 250 = £5,250 but for SL Products, using the marginal cost it would be £20.70 x 250 = £5,175. 5,250 - 5,175 = £75
NP2 The competition is £52.00 x 600 = £31,200 but for SL Products, using the marginal cost above, it would be £48.30 x 600 = £28,980. 31,200 - 28,980 = 2,220
Use this logic for market price and spreadsheet price.
Hope this helps.3
