Wargrin designs, develops and sells many PC games. Games have a short lifecycle lasting around three years only. Performance of the games is measured by reference to the profits made in each of the expected three years of popularity. Wargrin accepts a net profit of 35% of turnover as reasonable. A rate of contribution (sales price less variable cost) of 75% is also considered acceptable. Wargrin has a large centralised development department which carries out all the design work before it passes the completed game to the sales and distribution department to market and distribute the product. Wargrin has developed a brand new game called Stealth and this has the following budgeted performance figures. The selling price of Stealth will be a constant $30 per game. Analysis of the costs show that at a volume of 10,000 units a total cost of $130,000 is expected. However at a volume of 14,000 units a total cost of $150,000 is expected. If volumes exceed 15,000 units the fixed costs will increase by 50%. Stealths budgeted volumes are as follows:

year 1 8 000 units

year 2 16 000 units

year 3 4 000 units

In addition, marketing costs for Stealth will be $60,000 in year one and $40,000 in year two. Design and development costs are all incurred before the game is launched and has cost $300,000 for Stealth. These costs are written off to the income statement as incurred (i.e. before year 1 above).

Produce the budgeted results for Stealth and briefly assess the games expected performance, taking into account the whole lifecycle of the game.

" my question is where does the 40 % turnover come from my teacher did it and I do not know where it come from thanks."
