As a newly hired management accountant, you have been asked to prepare a profit plan for the company for which you

work. As part of this task, you've been asked to do some what$-$if analyses. Following is the budgeted information

regarding the coming year:

Required:

What is the breakeven volume, in units and dollars, for the coming year?

Assume that the goal of the company is to earn a pretax $($operating$)$ profit of $$332,001$ for the coming year. How many

units would the company have to sell to achieve this goal?

Assume that of the $$63$ variable cost per unit the labor$-$cost component is $$29.$ Current negotiations with the

employees of the company indicate some uncertainty regarding the labor cost component of the variable cost figure

presented above. What is the effect on the breakeven point in units if selling price and fixed costs are as planned, but the

labor cost for the coming year is $4\%$ higher than anticipated? What if labor costs are $6\%$ higher than anticipated? What if

labor costs turn out to be $8\%$ higher than anticipated?

Assume now that management is convinced that labor costs will be $5\%$ higher than originally planned when the budget

for the year was put together. What selling price per unit must the company charge to maintain the budgeted ratio of

contribution margin to sales? $($Hint: Use the Goal Seek function in Excel to answer this question.$)$
