Lazy Days Inc. (LDI), sells hammocks. Revenue and cost information is given below:
Sales Price
3.
TL
30
Unit Variable Cost
20
Annual Fixed Operating Expenses
47,500
Required:
a) Determine the sales volume in units and TL amount that would be required to attain a TL
12,500 profit. Verify your answer by preparing an income statement using the
contribution margin format.
b) LDI is considering the implementation of a quality improvement program. The program
will require a TL 2.50 increase in the variable cost per unit. To inform its customers of
the quality improvements, the company plans to spend an additional TL 5,000 for
advertising. Assuming that the improvement program will increase sales to a level that is
1,500 units above the amount computed in requirement a, should LDI proceed with plans
to improve product quality? Support your answer by preparing a budgeted income
statement.
c) Determine the new break-even point volume of units and sales in TL as well as the
margin of safety…
APPLY THE CONCEPTS: Target income (sales revenue)
Another useful method for figuring out the type of performance your company will need to reach a target income is by using sales revenue. Rather than using the number of units, this method uses total sales revenue. In companies for which the
total set of goods produced and sold is more varied, this would be the preferred method, as opposed to a business in which only one product is sold. Assume a company has pricing and cost information as follows:
Price and Cost Information
Amount
Selling Price per Unit
$30
Variable Cost per Unit
$15
Total Fixed Cost
$15,000
For the upcoming period, the company wishes to generate operating income of $40,000. Given the cost and pricing structure for the company's product, how much sales revenue must it generate to attain its target income?
Step 1: Calculate the contribution margin ratio:
The contribution margin ratio is the contribution margin in proportion to the selling price on a per-unit basis.…
Wildhorse Repairs has 200 auto-maintenance service outlets nationwide. It performs primarily two lines of service: oil changes
and brake repair. Oil change-related services represent 70% of its sales and provide a contribution margin ratio of 20%. Brake
repair represents 30% of its sales and provides a 40% contribution margin ratio. The company's fixed costs are $13,416,000 (that
is, $67,080 per service outlet). Sales mix is determined based upon total sales dollars.
(a)
Your answer is correct.
Calculate the dollar amount of each type of service that the company must provide in order to break even. (Use Weighted-
Average Contribution Margin Ratio rounded to 2 decimal places e.g. 0.25 and round final answers to 0 decimal
places, e.g. 2,510.)
