Asked in a 2014 paper

Considering two fiscal years 2013 and 2014, if the selling price in 2013 and 2014 is $55 and $60 per unit respectively and actual units sold in 2013 are 25000 units, then revenue effect of price recovery will be __________?

Correct answer: C. $125,000

  • A. $14,500
  • B. $135,000
  • C. $125,000
  • D. $12,500

Explanation

The price recovery effect is the change in selling price multiplied by the base-year units sold: ($60 − $55) × 25,000 = $125,000. The calculation isolates the price change while holding volume at 2013 units.
