Question
Golden Fish Company is a wholesale distributor of all kinds of fish in Ramallah. The Company services grocery stores in the Ramallah District.
Small but steady growth in sales has been achieved by Golden Fish over the past few years, while fish prices have been increasing. The company is formulating its plans for the coming fiscal year. Presented next are the data used to project the current year’s after-tax net income of $128,250.
Average selling price per Kg $ 5.00
Cost of fish $ 2.50
Shipping expenses $ 0.50
Total $ 3.00
Annual fixed costs
Selling $ 210,000
Administrative $ 356,250
Total $ 566,250
Expected annual sales volume (390,000 kgs)
Tax rate 40%
Fishing companies have announced that they will increase prices of their products by an average of 15% in the coming year, owing mainly to increases in labour costs. Golden Fish Company expects that all other costs will remain at the same rates or levels as in the current year.

- What strategies might Golden Fish Company use to maintain the same net income after taxes as projected for the current year?

The owners are trying to decide whether to remain open during the fourth quarter of the year (October through December) given the reduced business. They estimate that the number of meals sold in the fourth quarter will only be 40 percent of those sold in the third quarter. The number of meals sold in the third quarter was 37,000 at an average price of $7.50. The owners plan to offer a somewhat smaller menu during the fourth quarter and expect the average meal to sell for $6. The variable meal costs and the marketing cost per meal are not expected to change. The fixed meal costs will decline by 10 percent and the administrative costs will decline by 20 percent as the restaurant will be open fewer hours.

Just two years earlier, this store sold eight loaves of bread for each package of buns sold. Today, the ratio is closer to six to one, bread to buns. Donald isn't sure why tastes or buying behavior have changed, but it's significant, so his purchasing behavior has changed accordingly. For the year just ended, the bakery department budgeted for sales of 10,200 loaves of bread and 1,800 packages of buns. Actual sales were 9,900 loaves of bread and 1,100 packages of buns. Budgeted selling price and variable cost per unit for each were as follows. Bread Buns Budgeted selling price $2.00 $2.80 Budgeted variable cost 0.60 1.00 Budgeted contribution margin $1.40 $1.80 This year, the bread actually sold for $2.07 per loaf, while the package of buns sold for $2.92.
