This will describe the cost which has been being paid for the production of the oldest products. Quantity of the company goods in November 11,700 and 8,200. Therefore the date of the nov -28 and the quantity amount is 6,480 and the total will describe the 6,560. This method will help the organization to identify the purpose and the cost of the goods manufactured that are old in the companies. Calculation of the production amount of the old company goods. They have to reduce the depreciation amount from the good manufacturing cost to find out the FIFO of the goods (Olafsson, 2018).

Contribution per unit (£) = 36000/6000=6

27000/3000=9

Contribution per kg (£)= 6(2250/3750*2250)

6*1350=8100 kg

9(1500/3750*2250)

9*900=8100 kg

Total contribution earned

(£)= 36000-10000=26000

27000-10000=17000

The calculation above and the details that are mentioned below explain the difference between both the contracts. These data analysis and the forecast on the profit and the loss on both the contracts. This will explain the difference between both the contracts and for this they have to make sure to handle the things. In both the contract, the contribution per unit and the contribution of the unit as per kg are different. They have to identify the issue in the company and based on the data they will have to select the contract. The forecast of both the contracts identifies the quantity and the contribution of the unit and also, the manufacturing of the unit per kg (Morales-Díaz, et al., 2017).

B4 D4
According to the data analysis and the contribution of the goods and the unit. The B4 contract has the rank increment as compared to contract D4 (Giuliani, et al, 2020).

Contribution per unit (£) = 36000/6000=6

Contribution per kg (£)= 6(2250/3750*2250)

6*1350=8100 kg

Total contribution earned

(£)= 36000-10000=26000

 

D4contract has the details of the company and the materials of the organization. The non-profit operation of both the contracted has the difference huge level.

Contribution per unit (£) = 27000/3000=9

Contribution per kg (£)=9(1500/3750*2250)

9*900=8100 kg

Total contribution earned

(£)=27000-10000=17000

 

The calculation above of the calculating the difference of the contracts amount and the other details will explain the company measurement. Due to this, they have to finalize the one contract out of these two to make sure the company will earn a profit rather than face a loss in the organization. According to the contract, they have divided the quantity in both contracts on an equal level (Giuliani, et al, 2020).

Contribution per unit (£) = 36000/6000=6

Contribution per kg (£)= 6(2250/3750*2250)

6*1350=8100 kg

This describes that the company has to choose contract B4 as compared to contract D4 and the reason behind this is that (Kozarezenko, et al., 2018).

Contribution per unit (£) = 27000/3000=9

Contribution per kg (£)=9(1500/3750*2250)

9*900=8100 kg

Also, the total contribution that is earned by both contracts is defined as the better option for the organization’s development.

Total contribution earned

(£)= 36000-10000=26000

27000-10000=17000

The B4 earn the total contribution is 26000 and therefore the D4 contract around the 17000 and this is describing the difference between both thee contracts units. Due to a comparison of both the contract the B4 contract is providing benefits to the organization. This will help the company to expand its business and earn more profit in the market for the better settlement of the organization (Shi, and Li, 2021).
