Cryptocoins is a manufacturer of 3D cameras and is preparing production and sales forecasts for the coming fiscal year. The company needs to determine the point at which the projected sales revenue will equal the total of all fixed and variable costs. Fixed costs are estimated to be $314,390, and variable costs are expected to be maintained at $150 per camera. Each camera will sell for $299.arrow_forwardHalifax Products sells a product for $75. Variable costs per unit are $50, and monthly fixed costs are $75,000. Answer the following questions: Required: What is the break-even point in units? What unit sales would be required to earn a target profit of $200,000? Assuming Halifax achieve the level of sales required in part b, what is the margin of safety in sales dollars?arrow_forwardExpo Lube is interested in producing and selling an industrial line of oil filters. Market research indicates that wholesale customers are currently willing to pay $8 for similar filters, and that Expo Lube could sell 80,000 units per year at that price. a. If Expo Lube requires a 21 percent return on sales, what is its target cost for the proposed industrial line of filters? b. Assume that market research reveals several of Expo Lube’s direct competitors are likely to lower the wholesale price of similar filters to $7 per unit. To remain competitive, what will Expo Lube’s target cost have to be to maintain a 21 percent return on sales? c. At a wholesale price of $7, Expo Lube estimates that it can sell 83,800 industrial filters per year instead of 80,000 units. Assuming its target costs are attainable, how much more or less profit per year will the company earn at the $7 wholesale price compared to the initial wholesale price estimate of $8?arrow_forward

Consider requirements (b), (c), and (d) independently of each other. What will the operating profit be? What is the impact on operating profit if the sales price decreases by 20 percent? Increases by 10 percent? What is the impact on operating profit if variable costs per unit decrease by 10 percent? Increase by 20 percent? Suppose that fixed costs for the year are 20 percent lower than projected, and variable costs per unit are 10 percent higher than projected. What impact will these cost changes have on operating profit for the year? Will profit go up? Down?
