Problem 6-1A

Fredonia Inc. had a bad year in 2013. For the first time in its history, it operated at a loss. The company’s income statement showed the following results from selling 79,100 units of product: Net sales $1,542,450; total costs and expenses $1,750,700; and net loss $208,250. Costs and expenses consisted of the following.

Management is considering the following independent alternatives for 2014.

1.

 

Increase unit selling price 22% with no change in costs and expenses.

2.

 

Change the compensation of salespersons from fixed annual salaries totaling $200,000 to total salaries of $36,100 plus a 5% commission on net sales.

3.

 

Purchase new high-tech factory machinery that will change the proportion between variable and fixed cost of goods sold to 50:50.


(a)
 Compute the break-even point in dollars for 2014. (Round contribution margin ratio to 4 decimal places e.g. 0.2512 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,510.)

Exercise 7-2 (Part Level Submission)

Gruden Company produces golf discs which it normally sells to retailers for $6.90 each. The cost of manufacturing 20,700 golf discs is:

Materials

 

$9,729

 

Labor

 

30,636

 

Variable overhead

 

22,149

 

Fixed overhead

 

40,572

 

Total

 

$103,086

 



Gruden also incurs 8% sales commission ($0.55) on each disc sold.

   McGee Corporation offers Gruden $5 per disc for 4,700 discs. McGee would sell the discs under its own brand name in foreign markets not yet served by Gruden. If Gruden accepts the offer, its fixed overhead will increase from $40,572 to $46,294 due to the purchase of a new imprinting machine. No sales commission will result from the special order.

Problem 11-1A

Costello Corporation manufactures a single product. The standard cost per unit of product is shown below.

The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is $10 per direct labor hour ($20.00 ÷ 2.00). It was computed from a master manufacturing overhead budget based on normal production of 11,400 direct labor hours (5,700 units) for the month. The master budget showed total variable costs of $79,800 ($7.00 per hour) and total fixed overhead costs of $34,200 ($3.00 per hour). Actual costs for October in producing 3,100 units were as follows.

The purchasing department buys the quantities of raw materials that are expected to be used in production each month. Raw materials inventories, therefore, can be ignored.
