Explanation of Solution
Given:
When the sales price decreases by 10%:
Compute the operating profit:
Thus, the operating profit decreased by $135,000. Earlier, operating profit was $450,000 and now current profit is $315,000.
When the sales price increases by 20%:

Calculate the impact on operating profit if variable costs per unit decreased by 10 per cent and increase by 20 per cent.
c.
Answer to Problem 29E
The change in operating profit when variable cost is decreased by 10% is $60,000
The change in operating profit when variable cost is increased by 20% is ($120,000)
Explanation of Solution
Target volume: the level of sales which need to be achieved during a particular period of time is termed as target volume.
Target profit: the amount of profit which needs to be achieved during a particular period of time on a particular level of sales is termed as target profit.
Operating profit:
When variable cost is decreased by 10%:
Thus, operating profit is increased by $60,000.
When variable cost is increased by 20%:
Thus, operating profit is decreased by $120,000.

Working note 10:
Compute the total cost:
When variable cost is increased by 20%:
Working note 11:
Compute the revised variable cost:
Working note 12:
Compute the total costs:
d.
Calculate the change in operating profit when fixed cost is reduced by 20% and variable cost is increased by 10%.
d.
Answer to Problem 29E
There is no change in operating profit when fixed cost is reduced by 20% and the variable cost is increased by 10%.
Explanation of Solution
Operating profit:
Thus, there is no change in the operating profit as the profit is the same in both situations.
