Calculation of contribution margin per Dak  
Selling price 56  
Less: variable costs    
Direct Material 7.5  
Direct Labor 8  
Variable Overhead 2.6  
Variable Selling Expenses 3.7  
Total Variable cost 21.8  
Contribution Margin per Unit 34.2  
     
1-a Financial Advantage = Additional contribution Margin - Increased expenses
=30,100*34.2– 100,000 = $929,420    
     
1-B yes, since benefit    
     
2.Calculation of break even price    
Direct Material 7.5  
Direct Labor 8  
Variable Overhead 2.6  
Import Duties 2.7  
Selling expenses 2.3  
Total variable cost 23.1  
     
Break even price = 23.1 + 15050/30100 = $23.6  
     
3.Relevant cost is the variable selling expense since manufacturing cost has already been incurred i.e. $3.70 per unit
     
Operating level = 86,000*25%*2/12 = 3583.33 units
4-a. Contribution margin foregone = 3583.33*34.2 = $122,549.89
4-b Fixed cost avoided = 774,000*65%*2/12 + 387,000*20%*2/12 = $96,750
c.Advantage of closing = 96,750-122,549.89 = $(25,799.89) i.e. disadvantage
d.No, should not be closed    
     
5.Calculation of avoidable cost    
Direct Material 7.5  
Direct Labor 8  
Variable Overhead 2.6  
Avoidable Fixed manufacturing overhead 2.7  
Variable selling expenses avoided 1.233  
Avoidable cost per unit 22.03
