The project requires the comparison of two competing proposals. Only one will be selected. The details of the proposals are as follows:

1. The Production Manager wants to invest $250,000 into new manufacturing equipment that will improve the efficiency and quality of the production process. The production manager has been pushing for this investment for months and has stated that the variable manufacturing cost of the product will decrease by $10 per unit. The investment will cause an increase in the fixed manufacturing costs in the form of annual depreciation expense of $50,000 on the new equipment.
The accounting numbers are as follows:
i. Decrease in Variable cost of $10 per unit
ii. Increase to annual Fixed cost of $50,000

2. The Sales Manager wants to implement a 3 year marketing campaign at a total cost of $150,000 ($50,000 annually for 3 years) and to decrease the selling price of the product by $13 dollars. He guarantees this will increase sales units by 25%.
The accounting numbers are as follows:
i. Decrease in Selling price per unit of $13
ii. Increase in annual marketing expense (fixed cost) of $50,000
iii. Increase in sales units by 25% (at the new lower per unit selling price)

You will need to complete a Contribution Margin Report based on the current revenue and expenses and also one for each of the proposals. In addition to the Contribution Margin Report you will also need to include the following calculations for the current and for each of the proposals: The Breakeven point in sales units and dollars, the margin of safety in dollars and percentage. For the analysis of the two proposals ignore the net present value of cash flows.
After you have completed your analysis you will need to make your recommendation on the course of action that will be the most advantageous to the company. Be complete in your analysis and prepare a memo to your boss Sally outlining your findings and provide support for your recommendation. [Be sure to include âallâ of the information that the data is providing.]

Set up a Contribution Margin Statement for Product A to use for your analysis

You gathered the following per unit information from the Company's accounting system for Product A:

Unit Sales 5,344
Sales Price per Unit $225.00
Variable Cost per unit $137.00
Total Traceable Fixed Cost $357,245.00

Using the above data prepare a current contribution margin report and a Forecasted contribution margin report (one for each of the proposals reflecting each of their proposed changes). You use a template that you kept from when you took Managerial Accounting . You saved all of the templates you used in Managerial Accounting because you knew someday you would need them!

Margin of Safety a. If Fama Company, with a break-even point at $473,100 of sales, has actual sales of $570,000, what is the margin of safety expressed (1) in dollars and (2) as a percentage of sales? Round the percentage to the nearest whole number. 1. $ 2. % b. If the margin of safety for Watkins Company was 35%, fixed costs were $1,729,000, and variable costs were 65% of sales, what was the amount of actual sales (dollars)? (Hint: Determine the break-even in sales dollars first.) $

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.
