PL currently earns an annual contribution of $2,880,000 from the sale of 90,000 units of product B. Fixed costs are $800,000 per annum.

The management of PL is considering reducing the selling price per unit to $48. The estimated levels of demand at the revised selling price and the probabilities of them occurring are as follows:

The estimated variable costs per unit at either of the higher levels of demand and the probabilities of them occurring are as follows:


The level of demand and the variable cost per unit are independent of each other.
Calculate the probability that the profit will increase from its current level if the selling price is reduced to $48.

  1. The probability therefore that the contribution will exceed $2,880,000 is 90%.
  2. The probability therefore that the contribution will exceed $2,880,000 is 50%.
  3. The probability therefore that the contribution will exceed $2,880,000 is 70%.
  4. The probability therefore that the contribution will exceed $2,880,000 is 40%.
