题干:Dixon Porter Co.公司使用生命周期成本法,现在正考虑制造生命周期为5年的产品,将花费1m的研发费用,2M的设计测试费用,该产品每年固定和单位可变成本和预设的3中销售价格下的平均单位销量如下
在最高的价格下,研发费用将会增加500k,设计和测试费用会增加1k,并且固定客户服务成本每年增加30k,以及可变客户服务成本每单位增加¥25。在最低价格下,固定营销成本会每年减少30k,Dixon Porter Co.应该选择哪一个价格才能在5年的生命周期内盈利?
考点:Cost Accumulation Systems-Life-Cycle Costing
关键词:Life-Cycle Costing
思路:此题目考的是生命周期成本法,要分别求出3中价格下的盈利情况。profit=sales-5年内所有的成本(研发+设计+生产成本+销售成本+客户服务。然后比较即可
Answer (A) is correct . Life cycle costs include upstream (R&D and design and testing) and downstream (marketing and distribution and customer service) costs over the product’s 5-year life cycle. At a unit price of $750, upstream costs equal $3,000,000 ($1,000,000 + $2,000,000). Fixed costs of production and the fixed downstream costs equal $15,750,000 [($1,500,000 + $1,500,000 + $180,000 – $30,000) × 5 years], and variable costs of production and variable downstream costs equal $9,600,000 [8,000 units × ($100 + $100 + $40) × 5 years]. Accordingly, the life cycle costs at a price of $750 equal $28,350,000 ($3,000,000 + $15,750,000 + $9,600,000). Sales revenue at this price is $30,000,000 (8,000 units × $750 × 5?years). Hence, profit at a price of $750 is $1,650,000 ($30,000,000 – $28,350,000).
Answer (B) is incorrect because The profit at a unit price of $900 is $900,000.
Answer (C) is incorrect because The profit at a unit price of $1,125 is $90,000.
Answer (D) is incorrect because A profit of $1,650,000 is earned at a price of $750.
