After taking business classes, Jake, an avid dog-lover, decided to start selling unique pet supplies at trade shows. He has two products: Product 1: "Launch-it"- a tennis ball thrower that will sell for $10. Product 2: "Treat-time"- an automatic treat dispenser that releases a treat when the dog places his paw on the pedal. The treat dispenser will sell for $30. Costs: Jake has hired an employee to work the trade show booths. The work contract is $1,000 per month plus a commission equal to 10% of revenue. Jake will also spend $500 per month on trade-show entry fees. Jake is purchasing the products from a supplier in Mexico. Launch-its cost $1 each; Treat-times cost $7 each. Shipping and handling on the Launch-its will cost $2 each; Shipping and handling on the Treat-times, which are heavier, will cost $8 each. The shipping and handling costs will be paid by Jake, not the customer. Assume Jake expects to sell 200 Launch-its and 100 Treat-times during his first month of operations (June). Jake's financial goal is to earn an operating income of $8,000 per month. He believes volume may grow at a rate of 5% a month. 5) Use the WACM/unit to calculate the TOTAL number of units needed to breakeven (TOTAL column in the first gray box). THEN, calculate the number of EACH type of product needed to breakeven. Finally, calculate the sales revenue associated with this volume for EACH product, and then the sales revenue to breakeven in total. Check figures: B/E Product #1 = 125; B/E Product #2= 63 6) Use the WACM/unit to calculate the total number of units needed to achieve Jake's target profit (TOTAL column in the second gray box). THEN, calculate the number of EACH type of product needed to achieve the target profit. Finally, calculate sales revenue associated with this volume for EACH product, and then the sales revenue in total. Check figures: B/E Product #1 =792; B/E Product #2= 396 7) Calculate the MOS using June sales as the expected sales (purple box). Calculate the MOS in terms of sales revenue and as a percentage. Also calculate the current operating leverage factor (round to the nearest 2 decimal places) and use it to determine the expected percentage change in operating income stemming from an expected change in sales volume. Check figures: MOS%= 38%; Operating leverage factor= 2.67 Product #1 Product #2 Total Multiproduct Breakeven point: in units Sales revenue at breakeven Product #1 Product #2 Total Multiproduct Target profit point: -in units Sales revenue at target profit Margin of Safety (in $) Margin of Safety % Operating Leverage Factor Expected % change in operating income (%) After taking business classes, Jake, an avid dog-lover, decided to start selling unique pet supplies at trade shows.
