A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/11/O/N/23

Explanation
Revised Profit Calculation After Price and Volume Changes Steps:
- New selling price = 9 per unit (10% reduction).
- New sales volume = 10,000 × 1.05 = 10,500 units.
- New revenue = 94,500; new variable costs = 52,500.
- New profit = 52,500 - 17,000. Why B is correct:
- It applies the contribution margin formula: (new price - variable cost per unit) × new volume - fixed costs = profit. Why the others are wrong:
- A: Underestimates revenue by using a larger price cut without full volume adjustment.
- C: Overestimates by ignoring the price reduction's impact on contribution per unit.
- D: Likely uses original figures without any changes.
Final answer: B
