Schister Systems uses the following data in its Cost-Volume-Profit analyses: Total Sales $ 340,000 Variable expenses 170,000 Con

djyliett [7]

Answer:

$204,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Total Sales = $ 340,000

Variable expenses = $170,000

Contribution margin = $170,000

Fixed expenses = $108,000

Net operating income = $ 62,000

Contribution margin ratio:

= Contribution margin ÷ Sales

= $170,000 ÷ $ 340,000

= 0.5 or 50%

If sales volume increases by 30%,

Revised sales:

= Total sales + 20% of Total sales

= $340,000 + (0.2 × $340,000)

= $340,000 + $68,000

= $408,000

Revised contribution margin:

= Revised sales × Contribution margin ratio

= $408,000 × 50%

= $204,000

Sarafiny Corporation is in the process of preparing its annual budget. The following beginning and ending inventory levels are p

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

270,000 units

Explanation:

Given that:

Beginning Inventory for finished goods: 31,000

Ending Inventory for finished goods : 41,000

Beginning Inventory for raw materials: 61000

Ending Inventory for raw materials: 51,000

Units planned to be sold: 260,000

We compute the produced finished goods = Ending inventory + Units sold − Beginning inventory

= 41,000 + 260,000 − 31,000 = 270,000

The number of units the company would have to manufacture during the year would be 270,000

The Bata Aerobics Company manufactures two models of steppers used for aerobics exercises. To manufacture each luxury model requ

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

to maximize profit it will produce:

400 units of luxury

none of standard.

Explanation:

luxury:

20 lb of pastic and 9 min of labor and 40 dollars profit

standard:

30lb plastic 6 of labor and $15

We calculate the contribution per constrain resourse:

labor hours

40 / 9 = 4.44

15 / 6 = 2.5

materials

40/20 = 2

15 / 30 = 0.5

As luxury provides better contribution in both categories we will maximize his production.

60 hours x 60 min per hours = 3,600 min

3,600 / 9 min = 400 units of luxury steppers

12,600/20 = 630 units of luxury

Once we use the labor hours we cannot keep producing, so we maximize the profit at 400 units of luxury at the given scenario.

As there is no amounft left for standard we don't produce any

Precision Systems manufactures CD burners and currently sells 18,500 units annually to producers of laptop computers. Jay Wilson

hram777 [196]

Answer:

a. What increase in the selling price is necessary to cover the 15 percent increase in direct labor cost and still maintain the current contribution margin ratio of 40 percent?

estimated production costs per unit:

direct materials $10

direct labor $23

overhead $30

total $63

if we want contribution margin to remain at 40%, then selling price = $63 / (1 - 40%) = $105

to verify our answer, contribution margin = $105 - $63 = $42 / $105 = 40%

b. How many units must be sold to maintain the current operating income of $350,000 if the sales price remains at $100 and the 15 percent wage increase goes into effect?

if sales price doesn't change, then contribution margin = $37 (not $40)

units sold to keep profit at $350,000 = ($350,000 + $390,000) / $37 = 20,000 units per year

c. Wilson believes that an additional $700,000 of machinery (to be depreciated at 20 percent annually) will increase present capacity (20,000 units) by 25 percent. If all units produced can be sold at the present price of $100 per unit and the wage increase goes into effect, how would the estimated operating income before capacity is increased compare with the estimated operating income after capacity is increased? Prepare schedules of estimated operating income at full capacity before and after the expansion.

working at full capacity, sales price $100 (unchanged) and direct labor costs increasing by 15%

capacity 20,000 capacity 25,000

sales revenue $2,000,000 $2,500,000

direct labor $460,000 $575,000

direct materials $200,000 $250,000

overhead $600,000 $750,000

fixed costs $390,000 $670,000

operating revenue $350,000 $255,000

The expansion will result in lower operating profits ($95,000 less) so it should be discarded.
