Problem #2(Multiple-Product CVP)
A company sells two products: a standard model and a deluxe model. The standard model sells for $50 and has a contribution margin ratio of 40%. The deluxe model sells for $100 and has a contribution margin ratio of 50%. Last year, the company sold 5000 standard units and 2500 deluxe units.
There is $200,000 of cost that is fixed in the sense that it does not vary with the number of units produced. However, $100,000 of this cost is Direct Fixed Costs that are allocated between products as 80% to the deluxe product, while 20% is allocated to the standard model. The remaining $100,000 is Allocated Fixed Costs that are allocated equally between the two products.
