Case 7-65 Cost-Volume-Profit with Multiple Products, Sales Mix Changes, Changes in Fixed and Variable Costs
Objective 1, 4
Artistic Woodcrafting Inc. began several years ago as a one-person, cabinet-making operation. Employees were added as the business expanded. Last year, sales volume totaled $850,000. Volume for the first five months of the current year totaled $600,000, and sales were expected to be $1.6 million for the entire year. Unfortunately, the cabinet business in the region where Artistic is located is highly competitive. More than 200 cabinet shops are all competing for the same business.
Artistic currently offers two different quality grades of cabinets: Grade I and Grade II, with Grade I being the higher quality. The average unit selling prices, unit variable costs, and direct fixed costs are as follows:
Unit Price Unit Variable Cost Direct Fixed Cost
Grade I $3,400 $2,686 $95,000
Grade II 1,600 1,328 95,000
Common fixed costs (fixed costs not traceable to either cabinet) are $35,000. Currently, for every three Grade I cabinets sold, seven Grade II cabinets are sold.
Required:
Calculate the number of Grade I and Grade II cabinets that are expected to be sold during the current year.
Calculate the number of Grade I and Grade II cabinets that must be sold for Artistic to break even.
Artistic can buy computer-controlled machines that will make doors, drawers, and frames. If the machines are purchased, the variable costs for each type of cabinet will decrease by 9%, but common fixed cost will increase by $44,000. Compute the effect on operating income, and also calculate the new break-even point. Assume the machines are purchased at the beginning of the sixth month. Fixed costs for the company are incurred uniformly throughout the year.
SHOW ANSWER
Refer to the original data. Artistic is considering adding a retail outlet. This will increase common fixed cost by $70,000 per year. As a result of adding the retail outlet, the additional publicity and emphasis on quality will allow the firm to change the sales mix to 1:1. The retail outlet is also expected to increase sales by 30%. Assume that the outlet is opened at the beginning of the sixth month. Calculate the effect on the company's expected profits for the current year, and calculate the new break-even point. Assume that fixed costs are incurred uniformly throughout the year.

- Question 2 Capstone Company has two divisions. The Bottle Division produces products that have variable costs of $3 per unit. It has annual production of 200,000 units. 160,000 units of the products are sold to outsiders at $5 per unit and 40,000 units to the Mixing Division. The fixed costs of the Bottle Division are $125,000 per year. There was no beginning or ending inventories during the year. Mixing sells its finished products to outside customers for $11.50 per unit. Mixing has variable costs of $2.50 per unit in addition to the costs from the Bottle Division. The annual fixed costs of Mixing were $85,000. There was no beginning or ending inventories during the year. Required: a) How much should be the minimum transfer price: (i) if market for the products from Bottle Division is perfectly competitive? (ii) if intermediate market exists that is not perfectly competitive, and the Bottle Division has no unused capacity?arrow_forward4arrow_forwardNeed numbers 6 & 7 Darby Company, operating at full capacity, sold 500,000 units at a price of $94 per unit during the current year.
