Document Summary

Contribution margin is the amount remaining from sales revenue after variable expenses have been deducted. amount available to cover fixed expenses and then to provide profits for the period. Contribution margin is used first to cover the fixed expenses, and then whatever remains goes toward profits. To estimate the profit at any sales volume above the break-even point, multiply the number of units sold in excess of the break-even point by the unit contribution margin. The contribution format income statement can be expressed in equation form as follows: 3 methods: use equation or formula method then multiply result by selling price. 750 speakers per speaker, or ,500 in total sales: use equation method to computer $ sales needed to attain target profit, use formula method to compute $ sales needed to attain target profit. Excess of budgeted or actual sales over break-even sales $. Amt which sales can drop before losses occur.

EXERCISE 5-18 Break-Even and Target Profit Analysis; Margin of Safety; CM Ratio [LO5-1, L05-3, L05-5, L05-6, L05-7] Menlo Company distributes a single product. The company's sales and expenses for last month follow: Per Unit $30 Total $450,000 180,000 270,000 216,000 $ 54,000 Variable expenses ...... Contribution margin. Fixed expenses Net operating income ....... 12 Required: 1. What is the monthly break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales? 2. Without resorting to computations, what is the total contribution margin at the break-even point? 3. How many units would have to be sold each month to earn a target profit of $90,000? Use the formula method. Verify your answer by preparing a contribution format income statement at the target sales level. 4. Refer to the original data. Compute the company's margin of safety in both dollar and per- centage terms. 5. What is the company's CM ratio? If sales increase by $50,000 per month and there is no change in fixed expenses, by how much would you expect monthly net operating income to increase?

The Hampshire Company manufactures umbrellas that sell for$12.50 each. In 2014, the company made and sold 60,000 umbrellas.The company had fixed manufacturing costs of $216,000. It also hadfixed costs for administration of $79,525. The per-unit costs ofeach umbrella are as follows:

Direct Materials: $3.00

Direct Labor: $1.50

Variable Manufacturing Overhead: $0.40

Variable Selling Expenses: $1.10

Using the information above, perform a cost-volume-profit (CVP)analysis by completing the steps below.

1. Compute net income before tax.

2. Compute the unit contribution margin in dollars and thecontribution margin ratio for one umbrella.

3. Calculate the break-even point in units and dollars ofrevenue.

4. Calculate the margin of safety:

In units

In sales dollars

As a percentage

5. Calculate the degree of operating leverage.

6. Assume that sales will increase by 20% in 2015. Calculate thepercentage of before-tax income for this increase. Providecalculations to prove that your percentage increase is correctbased on the operating leverage calculated in step 5.

7. Compute the number of umbrellas that Hampshire is required tosell if it plans to earn $150,000 in income before taxes by usingthe target income formula. Proof your calculation.

8. A company that specializes in tours in England has offered topurchase 5,000 umbrellas at $11 each from Hampshire. The variableselling costs of these additional units will be $1.30 as opposed to$1.10 per unit. Also, this production activity will incur another$15,000 of fixed administrative costs. Should Hampshire agree tosell these additional 5,000 umbrellas to the touring business?Provide calculations to support your decision.
