- Faldo Company produces a single product. The projected income statement for the coming year, based on sales of 200,000 units, is as follows: Required: 1. Compute the unit contribution margin and the units that must be sold to break even. Suppose that 30,000 units are sold above the break-even point. What is the profit? 2. Compute the contribution margin ratio and the break-even point in dollars. Suppose that revenues are 200,000 greater than expected. What would the total profit be? 3. Compute the margin of safety in sales revenue. 4. Compute the operating leverage. Compute the new profit level if sales are 20 percent higher than expected. 5. How many units must be sold to earn a profit equal to 10 percent of sales? 6. Assume the income tax rate is 40 percent. How many units must be sold to earn an after-tax profit of 180,000?arrow_forwardA company has prepared the following statistics regarding its production and sales at different capacity levels. Total costs: 1. At what point is break-even reached in sales dollars? In units? (Hint: Use the capacity level to determine the number of units.) 2. If the company is operating at 60% capacity, should it accept an offer from a customer to buy 10,000 units at 3 per unit?arrow_forwardSchylar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., plans to sell 130,000 units of antibiotic at an average price of 22 each in the coming year. Total variable costs equal 1,086,800. Total fixed costs equal 8,000,000. (Round all ratios to four significant digits, and round all dollar amounts to the nearest dollar.) Required: 1. What is the contribution margin per unit? What is the contribution margin ratio? 2. Calculate the sales revenue needed to break even. 3. Calculate the sales revenue needed to achieve a target profit of 245,000. 4. What if the average price per unit increased to 23.50? Recalculate: a. Contribution margin per unit b. Contribution margin ratio (rounded to four decimal places) c. Sales revenue needed to break even d. Sales revenue needed to achieve a target profit of 245,000arrow_forward
- If a company has fixed costs of $6.000 per month and their product that sells for $200 has a contribution margin ratio of 30%, how many units must they sell in order to break even? A. 100 B. 180 C. 200 D. 2,000arrow_forwardDelta Co. sells a product for $150 per unit. The variable cost per unit is $90 and fixed costs are $15,250. Delta Co.s tax rate is 36% and the company wants to earn $44,000 after taxes. What would be Deltas desired pre-tax income? What would be break-even point in units to reach the income goal of $44,000 after taxes? What would be break-even point in sales dollars to reach the income goal of $44000 after taxes? Create a contribution margin income statement to show that the break-even point calculated in B, generates the desired after-tax income.arrow_forwardManatoah Manufacturing produces 3 models of window air conditioners: model 101, model 201, and model 301. The sales price and variable costs for these three models are as follows: The current product mix is 4:3:2. The three models share total fixed costs of $430,000. Calculate the sales price per composite unit. What is the contribution margin per composite unit? Calculate Manatoahs break-even point in both dollars and units. Using an income statement format, prove that this is the break-even point.arrow_forward
- Suppose that a company has fixed costs of $18 per unit and variable costs $9 per unit when 15,000 units are produced. What are the fixed costs per unit when 12,000 units are produced?arrow_forwardPolaris 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.arrow_forwardKlamath Company produces a single product. The projected income statement for the coming year is as follows: Required: 1. Compute the unit contribution margin and the units that must be sold to break even. 2. Suppose 10,000 units are sold above break-even. What is the operating income? 3. Compute the contribution margin ratio. Use the contribution margin ratio to compute the break-even point in sales revenue. (Note: Round the contribution margin ratio to four decimal places, and round the sales revenue to the nearest dollar.) Suppose that revenues are 200,000 more than expected for the coming year. What would the total operating income be?arrow_forward
- Dimitri Designs has capacity to produce 30,000 desk chairs per year and is currently selling all 30,000 for $240 each. Country Enterprises has approached Dimitri to buy 800 chairs for $210 each. Dimitris normal variable cost is $165 per chair, including $50 per unit in direct labor per chair. Dimitri can produce the special order on an overtime shift, which means that direct labor would be paid overtime at 150% of the normal pay rate. The annual fixed costs will be unaffected by the special order and the contract will not disrupt any of Dimitris other operations. What will be the impact on profits of accepting the order?arrow_forwardDrape Corp. would like to market a new product at a selling price of P15 per unit. Fixed costs for this product are P1,000,000 for less than 500,000 units of output and P1,500,000 for 500,000 or more units of output. The contribution margin percentage is 35%. How many units of this product must be sold to earn a targeerating income of P1 million?arrow_forwardIn the upcoming year, NUBD estimates that it will produce and sell 4,000 units.
