1. Break-Even Sales and Cost-Volume-Profit Chart

   Last year, Hever Inc. had sales of $575,000, based on a unit selling price of $230. The variable cost per unit was $161, and fixed costs were $69,000. The maximum sales within Hever Inc.s relevant range are 3,200 units. Hever Inc. is considering a proposal to spend an additional $31,050 on billboard advertising during the current year in an attempt to increase sales and utilize unused capacity.

   Required:

   1. Construct a cost-volume-profit chart on your own paper, indicating the break-even sales for last year. In your computations, do not round the contribution margin percentage.

   Break-even sales (dollars)	$253,000$207,000$230,000$213,900
   Break-even sales (units)	1,0001,100900930

   2. Using the cost-volume-profit chart prepared in part (1), determine (a) the income from operations for last year and (b) the maximum income from operations that could have been realized during the year. In your computations, do not round the contribution margin percentage.

   Income from operations	$103,500$471,500$172,500$506,000
   Maximum income from operations	$151,800$584,200$220,800$667,000

   3. Construct a cost-volume-profit chart (on your own paper) indicating the break-even sales for the current year, assuming that a noncancellable contract is signed for the additional billboard advertising. No changes are expected in the unit selling price or other costs. In your computations, do not round the contribution margin percentage.

   Dollars	$333,500$253,000$207,000$213,900
   Units	1,4501,5501,3501,380

   4. Using the cost-volume-profit chart prepared in part (3), determine (a) the income from operations if sales total 2,500 units and (b) the maximum income from operations that could be realized during the year. In your computations, do not round the contribution margin percentage.

   Income from operations at units	$72,450$502,550$574,970$474,950
   Maximum income from operations	$120,750$615,250$220,800$635,950
