Key Insights
Production:
- 500 units/day
- Cost per unit: $8
- Selling price: $12
- Daily revenue = 500 × $12 = $6,000
- Daily variable cost = 500 × $8 = $4,000
- Daily gross profit = $6,000 – $4,000 = $2,000
Total profit after 7 days:
$2,000 × 7 = $14,000
After 7 Days: Reduced Production and Lower Costs
Changes:
- Production reduced by 20%:
New daily production = 500 × (1 – 0.20) = 400 units/day - Cost per unit reduced by 15%:
New cost per unit = $8 × (1 – 0.15) = $6.80
