Polaris Inc. manufactures two types of metal stampings for the automobile industry: door handles and trim kits. Fixed cost equals 146,000. Each door handle sells for 12 and has variable cost of 9; each trim kit sells for 8 and has variable cost of 5. Required: 1. What are the contribution margin per unit and the contribution margin ratio for door handles and for trim kits? 2. If Polaris sells 20,000 door handles and 40,000 trim kits, what is the operating income? 3. How many door handles and how many trim kits must be sold for Polaris to break even? 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Assume that Polaris has the opportunity to rearrange its plant to produce only trim kits. If this is done, fixed costs will decrease by 35,000, and 70,000 trim kits can be produced and sold. Is this a good idea? Explain.

A company that sells radios has yearly fixed costs of $600,000. It costs the company $45 to produce each radio. Each radio will sell for $65. The company's costs and revenue are modeled by the following functions, where x represents the number of radios produced and sold: C(x) = 600,000 + 45x This function models the company's costs. R(x) = 65x. This function models the company's revenue. Find and interpret (R – C)(20,000), (R – C)(30,000), and (R - C)(40,000).

Hawk Homes, Inc., makes one type of birdhouse that it sells for $29.40 each. Its variable cost is $13.20 per house, and its fixed costs total $14,013.00 per year. Hawk currently has the capacity to produce up to 2,700 birdhouses per year, so its relevant range is 0 to 2,700 houses. Required:1. Prepare a contribution margin income statement for Hawk assuming it sells 1,280 birdhouses this year. 2. Without any calculations, determine Hawk’s total contribution margin if the company breaks even. 3. Calculate Hawk’s contribution margin per unit and its contribution margin ratio. 4. Calculate Hawk’s break-even point in number of units and in sales revenue. 5. Suppose Hawk wants to earn $25,000 this year. Determine how many birdhouses it must sell to generate this amount of profit.
