Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (BUD) reported the following operatinginformation for a recent year (in millions)
In addition, assume that Anheuser-Busch InBev sold 500 million barrelsof beer during the year. Assume that variable costs were 75% of the costof goods sold and 50% of selling, general, and administrative expenses.Assume that the remaining costs are fixed. For the following year,assume that Anheuser-Busch InBev expects pricing, variable costs perbarrel, and fixed costs to remain constant, except that new distributionand general office facilities are expected to increase fixed costs by $400million.a. Compute the break-even number of barrels for the current year.In computing variable and fixed costs and per-barrel amounts,round to two decimal places. Round the break-even number ofbarrels to one decimal place.b. Compute the anticipated break-even number of barrels for thefollowing year. Round to one decimal place in millions of barrels.
Last year company A introduced a new product and sold 25,900 units at $97.00 per unit. The product variable expense $67.00 per unit with a fixed price expense of $835,500 per year.
a. What is the product's net income or loss last year?
b. What is the product break-even point in unit sales and dollar sales?
c. Assume the company has conducted a market study that estimates it can increase sales by 5,000 units for each $2.00 reduction in its selling price. If the company would only consider increments of $2.00(e.g. $68,$66, etc) What is the maximum annual profit that can be earned on this product?
What sales volume and selling price per unit generate the maximum profit?
d. What would be the break-even point in unit sales and dollar sales using the selling price that was determined in the required letter c above?
