The Shirt Works sells a large variety of tee shirts and sweatshirts. Steve Hooper, the owner, is thinking of expanding his sales by hiring high school students, on a commission basis, to sell sweatshirts bearing the name and mascot of the local high school. These sweatshirts would have to be ordered from the manufacturer six weeks in advance, and they could not be returned because of the unique printing required. The sweatshirts would cost Hooper $22.00 each with a minimum order of 196 sweatshirts. Any additional sweatshirts would have to be ordered in increments of 196. Since Hooper's plan would not require any additional facilities, the only costs associated with the project would be the costs of the sweatshirts and the costs of the sales commissions. The selling price of the sweatshirts would be $44.00 each. Hooper would pay the students a commission of $8.00 for each shirt sold. Required: 1. What level of unit sales and dollar sales is needed to attain a target profit of $10,976? 2. Assume that Hooper places an initial order for 196 sweatshirts. What is his break-even point in unit sales and dollar sales? (Round your intermediate calculations, round "Break-even point in unit sales" up to the nearest whole unit and round "Break-even point in dollar sales" to the nearest whole dollar.) 3. How many sweatshirts would Hooper need to sell to earn a target profit of $12,348? (Round final answer up to the nearest whole unit.) 1. Unit sales needed to attain the target profit 1.

Naturalmaid processes organic milk into plain yogurt. Naturalmaid sells plain yogurt to hospitals, nursing homes, and restaurants in bulk, one-gallon containers. Each batch, processed at a cost of $880, yields 750 gallons of plain yogurt. The company sells the one-gallon tubs for $5.00 each and spends $0.14 for each plastic tub. Naturalmaid has recently begun to reconsider its strategy. Management wonders if it would be more profitable to sell individual-sized portions of fruited organic yogurt at local food stores. Naturalmaid could further process each batch of plain yogurt into 16,000 individual portions (3/4 cup each) of fruited yogurt. A recent market analysis indicates that demand for the product exists. Naturalmaid would sell each individual portion for $0.58. Packaging would cost $0.06 per portion, and fruit would cost $0.10 per portion. Fixed costs would not change. Should Naturalmaid continue to sell only the gallon-sized plain yogurt (sell as is) or convert the plain yogurt…

Cassandra Boat Builders builds and sells powerboats with a hull constructed primarily of teak wood. The boat building season is during Spring and Summer. The company begins building each boat only after a firm commitment was made by a specific buyer. Since the price of teak wood tends to fluctuate, Cassandra purchases several future contracts with different due dates during the building season to hedge the risk of fluctuating wood prices. During the 20X1 boat building season, the price of teak wood increased and reduced the Company's gross margin by $250,000.
