Break-Even Sales Under Present and Proposed Conditions Portmann Company, operating at full capacity, sold 1,000,000 units at a price of $188 per unit during the current year. Its income statement is as follows: The division of costs between variable and fixed is as follows: relationship between sales and variable costs. Required: Required: 1. Determine the total variable costs and the total fixed costs for the current year. 2. Determine (a) the unit variable cost and (b) the unit contribution margin for the current year. Unit variable cost Unit contribution margin 3. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the current year. units 4. Compute the break-even sales (units) under the proposed program for the following year. units units 6. Determine the maximum operating income possible with the expanded plant. $ 7. If the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level, what will the operating income or loss be for the following year? $ 8. Based on the data given, would you recommend accepting the proposal? c. In tavor of the proposal because of the increase in break-even point. d. Reject the proposal because if future sales remain at the current level, the income from operations will increase. e. Reject the proposal because the sales necessary to maintain the current income from operations would be below the current year sales. Choose the correct answer. Feedback V Check My Work 1. Multiply the percentages for fixed and variable costs by each cost. 2. a. Divide the total variable costs by number of units. 2. b. Sales price per unit minus variable costs per unit equals contribution margin per unit. 3. Fixed costs divided by unit contribution margin equals break-even point. 4. Fixed costs under the proposed program divided by contribution margin equals new break-even point. 5. (Fixed costs + Target profit) divided by unit contribution margin equals sales units. 6. Determine the increase in units by dividing the sales increase by the price per unit. Add the additional revenue and additional fixed costs when calculating: Sales minus fixed and variable costs equals income from operations. 7. Subtract the additional fixed costs from the operating income. 8. Consider the break-even point and the sales needed for the proposed level
