Break-Even Sales Under Present and Proposed Conditions
Battonkill Company, operating at full capacity, sold 129,600units at a price of $120 per unit during 2012. Its income statementfor 2012 is as follows:
Sales $15,552,000 Cost of goods sold 5,520,000 Gross profit $10,032,000 Expenses: Selling expenses $2,760,000 Administrative expenses 1,640,000 Total expenses 4,400,000 Income from operations $5,632,000
The division of costs between fixedcosts and variable costs is asfollows:
Fixed Variable Cost of goods sold 40% 60% Selling expenses 50% 50% Administrative expenses 70% 30%
Management is considering a plant expansion program that willpermit an increase of $1,560,000 in yearly sales. The expansionwill increase fixed costs by $208,000, but will not affect therelationship between sales and variable costs.
Instructions:
1. Determine for 2012 the total fixed costs and the total variablecosts.
Total fixed costs: $ Total variable costs: $
