a.

$37,500

b.

$200,000

c.

$150,000

d.

$120,000

Explanation / Answer

250 units of Brights and 1,000 units of Dulls by incurring $50000 as Production run cost. So, ratio is Brights:Dulls is 1:4.

Production run cost for Dulls = 50000/5 * 4 = 40000

Seperable cost for Dulls = 40*1000 = 40000

Total market price for Dulls = 200*1000 = 200000

The gross profit for Dulls = 200000- 40000 - 40000 = 120000

Answer is

$120,000

d.

$120,000
