Margaret Williams, production manager at Williams Manufacturing, finds her profits at $15,000 inadequate for her business. The bank is insisting on an improved profit picture prior to an approval of a loan for some new equipment. Margaret would like to improve the profit line to $25,000 so she can obtain the approval for the loan. Given the information below and using a Supply Chain Strategy, what percentage change of their Cost of Supply Chain Purchases would need to be reduced to achieve a $25,000 profit

Respuesta :

Answer:

22.22%

Explanation:

The calculation of percentage in sales is shown below:-

Increase in profit required = $25,000 - $15,000

= $10,000

To achieve a profit $10,000, the required sales increases

= $10000 ÷ 18%

= $55,555.55

Percentage increase in sale = Required sales ÷ Sales of current situation

= $55,555.55 ÷ $250,000

= 22.22%

So, for computing the percentage increase in sales we simply applied the above formula.
