The Variable Costs were $350,000 and the Net Profits were $100,000
Administration has directed management to double profits in the next year.
Part 1: Determine the Number of lollipops that must be sold to reach this target.
Part 2: Determine the DL and DM budget needed to reach this target.
DM: Cost $1 per pound
Each unit requires 1/50 of a pound
DL: Labor costs are $10 per hour
Each unit requires .0015 labor hours
Part 3: Determine the DL and DM variances and provide explanations to the Board of Directors.
DM: Cost $1.50 per pound, 220,000 pounds used
DL: Cost $12 per hour, 16000 labor hours used

Revenue per lollipop: $0.10
Variable cost per lollipop: $0.035
Contribution margin per lollipop: $0.065...
