In a multiproduct environment:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a multiproduct environment, it is important to consider the contribution margin of each individual product, as well as the overall weighted-average contribution margin per unit. This allows for better decision-making in terms of product mix and pricing strategies to maximize profitability. While factors such as sales price and volume should also be considered, a weighted-average contribution margin analysis provides a more comprehensive understanding of the profitability of each product. Cost-volume-profit analysis can still be utilized in a multiproduct environment but should be supplemented with additional analysis. Option B is not an appropriate strategy as it focuses only on one product and may lead to lost opportunities for profitability in other products. Option C also does not consider the contribution margin of each product and may result in selling products at prices that do not provide a desirable level of profitability.
