In the recent management meeting, the sales manager is discussing with the team to introduce a

few proposals on next year plan in order to maximize the profit earned by Brunswick. As the sales

manager is unsure on the uses of cost-volume profit analysis in the short term decision making.

you are appointed as the management accountant to closely assist him.

There are two proposals being introduced in the recent management meeting as follows;

Proposal 1:

The sales volume is estimated to be 2,100 tons for next year, and the selling price and cost

behaviour patterns to remain the same next year,

Proposal 2:

Assume Brunswick estimates the selling price per tonne will decline 10% next year, variable cost

will increase by RM40 per tonne and total fixed costs will remain unchanged.
