Sugar corp has a selling price of $20, variable costs of $12 per unit, and fixed costs of $25,000. maple expects profit of $300,000 at its anticipated level of production. if sugar sells 5,000 units more than expected, how much higher will its profits be?

So we first need to find the profit per unit, which means we need to find the number of units sold

profit = (sales price* quantity) - variable cost*quantity - fixed costs

plug in what we know

300,000 = (20q) - 12q-25,000

275,000 = 8q

q= 34,375 units produced. Then take profit/units = 300,000/34375 = 8.73 profit per unit

Now if we sell 5,000 more units, we would have 8.73*5000 = 43,636.36 additional profit

both are integral parts of a corporate balance sheet. the cash flow statement, or statement of cash flows, measures the sources of a company's cash and its uses of cash over a specific time period. the income statement measures a company's financial performance, such as revenues, expenses, profits or losses over a specific time period (in fact, it's sometimes called a statement of financial performance).

a cash flow statement shows exactly how much money a company has received and how much it has spent, traditionally over a period of one month. it captures the current operating results and changes on the balance sheet, such as increases or decreases in accounts receivable or accounts payable, and does not include noncash accounting items such as depreciation and amortization. the cash flow generally comes from revenue received as a result of business activity, but it may be augmented by funds available as a result of credit. a cash flow statement is used to determine the short-term viability and liquidity of a company, specifically how well it is positioned to pay its bills and vendors.
