Concept introduction:
Breakeven Point:
The level of sales where the company is neither on profit nor loss is termed as breakeven point. In other words, that level of sales at which the fixed cost of the business is recovered.
The breakeven point if the fixed cost is

- Best Windows is a small company that installs windows. Its cost structure is as follows: Selling price from each window installation Variable cost of each window installation Annual fixed costs $ $ $ 160,000 Use (a) the equation method and (b) the contribution method to calculate operating income if Best installs 4,000 windows. Use (a) the Equation method to calculate operating income if Best installs 4,000 windows. Begin by determining the formula to calculate the operating income using the equation method. Then, calculate the operating income. (Abbreviation used: FC = Fixed costs, SP = Selling price, VCU = Variable cost per unit, Q = Quantity of units sold.) X X )-( )-( X X 700 600 X = Operating income = Next, use (b) the contribution method to calculate operating income if Best installs 4,000 windows. Begin by determining the formula to calculate the operating income using the contribution method. Then, calculate the operating income. = Operating incomearrow_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_forwardSalvador Manufacturing builds and sells snowboards, skis and poles. The sales price and variable cost for each follows: Their sales mix is reflected in the ratio 7:3:2.

- 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.arrow_forwardMorris Industries manufactures and sells three products (AA, BB, and CC). The sales price and unit variable cost for the three products are as follows: Their sales mix s reflected as a ratio of 5:3:2. Annual fixed costs shared by the three products are $25,000 per year. What are total variable costs for Morris with their current product mix? Calculate the number of units of each product that will need to be sold in order for Morris to break even. What is their break-even point in sales dollars? Using an income statement format, prove that this is the break-even point.arrow_forwardDetermining transfer pricing The Lin Company is decentralized, and divisions are considered investment centers. Lin has one division that manufactures oak dining room chairs with upholstered seat cushions. The Chair Division cuts, assembles, and finishes the oak chairs and then purchases and attaches the seat cushions. The Chair Division currently purchases the cushions for $18 from an outside vendor. The Cushion Division manufactures upholstered seat cushions that are sold to customers outside the company. The Chair Division currently sells 1,000 chairs per quarter and the Cushion Division is operating at capacity, which is 1,000 cushions per quarter. The two divisions report the following information: Chair Division Cushion Division Sales Price per Chair $ 90 Sales Price per Cushion $ 20 Variable Cost (other than cushion) 45 Variable Cost per Cushion 12 Variable Cost (cushion) 18 Contribution Margin per Chair $ 27 Contribution Margin per Cushion $ 8arrow_forward
