Question:
We are closing the books on our first year in business. Below are our financial statements. Remember that we started the year with high costs, low production, and high customer prices. Throughout the year, we found some efficiencies such as purchasing in bulk and we also increased our fixed costs by opening a brick-and-mortar store front. When conducting your calculations, consider unit costs you calculated on the last tab. If there is a difference between unit costs on the last tab and the unit contribution margin on this tab, what could be the cause of the difference? | ||||||
