Folgers manufactures coffee:
Item | Total Cost |
Salaries for Administrative Staff | $264,000 |
Salary for Factory Manager | 14,800 |
Rent on Factory and Equipment | 184,600 |
Utilities for Factory | 40,200 |
Advertising (fixed) | 20,400 |
Rubber and plastic | 448,200 |
Wages for Assembly Staff | 358,000 |
Total | $1,330,200 |
a. Identify all costs above as either a product cost(specifically DM, DL or OH) or a period cost (PC).
b. If Folgers had produced 12,000 units, but only sold ¾ of itsinventory what amount would it report for inventory?
c. Identify all of their costs as either a variable cost (VC) ora fixed cost (FC) then calculate the variable cost per unit(rounded to the nearest penny) assuming 12,000 units were producedand the total fixed costs. Prepare a CM model assuming all unitswere sold at $125each.
Use the contribution margin model toanswer each situation below, which is independent of the others andunless specified otherwise, uses the VC and FC data above.
d. Management expects a 20% increase in unit sales. If so, whatis the Folgersâ projected net income under this scenario?
e. Folgers is considering using recycled rubber and plastic fortheir product. If so, its most recent costs for materials wouldincrease by $10 per unit; as a result, Folgers would increase theprice by $5 per unit to help offset that cost increase. Inaddition, management would increase advertising by 50 percent. Ifthose changes are made,Folgers anticipates that unit sales wouldincrease by 15 percent. What is the projected net income under thisscenario?
f.Folgers is considering whether it should make upgrades to thefactory and equipment; if so, the rent on factory and equipmentwould increase by 15 percent. Management projects that itsproduction (and sales) volume would increase by 20 percent if theprice were lowered by $5 per unit for all units. What is theprojected net income under this scenario?
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.
