Decision Making 6-1

Current Designs manufactures two different types of kayaks, rotomoulded kayaks and composite kayaks. The following information is available for each product line.

		Rotomoulded		Composite
Sales price/unit		$910		$1,920
Variable costs/unit		$550		$1,290

The companys fixed costs are $787,000. An analysis of the sales mix identifies that rotomoulded kayaks make up 80% of the total units sold.

Determine the weighted-average unit contribution margin for Current Designs.

Assume that the sales mix changes, and rotomoulded kayaks now make up 70% of total units sold. Calculate the total number of units that would need to be sold to earn a net income of $1.92 million and identify how many units of each type of kayak will be sold at this level of income. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)

Assume that Current Designs will have sales of $3.00 million with two-thirds of the sales dollars in rotomoulded kayaks and one third of the sales dollars in composite kayaks. Assuming $634,000 of fixed costs are allocated to the rotomoulded kayaks and $154,000 to the composite kayaks, prepare a CVP income statement for each product line. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)
