Mary Willis is the advertising manager for Bargain Shoe Store. She is currently working on a major promotional campaign. Her ideas include the installation of a new lighiting system and increased display space that will add $24,000 in fixed costs to the $270,000 currently spent. In addition, Mary is proposing that a 5% price decrease ($40 to $38) will produce a 20% increase in sales volume (20,000 to 24,000). Variable costs will remain at 24$ per pair of shoes. Management is impresssed with Mary's ideas but concerened about the effects that these changes will have on the break-even-point and the margin of safety.

Compute the current break-even-points in units, and compare it to the break-even-point in units if Mary's ideas are used

So the break even point is increased by 4,125 units

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Break even point in units is

= (Fixed expenses ) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)  

where,  

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit

So the current break even point is

= $270,000 ÷ ($40 - $24)

= $270,000 ÷ $16

= 16,875 units

And, if mary ideas are used, so break even point is

=  ($270,000 + $24,000) ÷ ($38 - $24)

= $294,000 ÷ $14

= 21,000 units

So the break even point is increased by 4,125 units by taking the difference

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
