PHASE 2 QUESTIONS:

Phase Two Requirements:

1.

Using red track changes revise your Phase One report (i.e. make sure that everything is correct noting that you may not need to revise anything)

2. Based on the cost estimates you developed, conduct a business evaluationon your proposed business.

a. Continue to assume that 7,800 t shirts will be made and sold in the first year. What is your product cost per unit under absorption costing? What is your product cost per unit under variable costing?

b. Based on the estimated sales level of 7,800 t shirts for the first year, prepare your companys (forecasted) income statement for the year ended on 12/31/2016 using both (1) the traditional format based on the absorption costing and (2) the contribution format based on the variable costing.

c. Calculate contribution margin per T shirt and contribution margin ratio.

d. Calculate the number of T shirts you need to sell in order to break even. Calculate the related sales in dollars you need to make in order to break even.

e. Calculate the number of T shirts you need to sell in order to make $10,000 target profit for the year.

f. Continue to assume that 7,800 T shirts will be made and sold during the first year.

Calculate

your (1) margin of safety and (2) degree of operating leverage (DOL) for your business.

How risky is your business based on these figures? Explain.

g. If sales could increase by 1,560 shirts, by how much in dollars would net operating income increase?

Using the contribution margin concept and DOL approach, by what percentage would net operating income increase ( note: do not recalculate net operating income)?

h. Prepare a contribution format income statement assuming a sales increase by 20% to 9,360 shirts. Compare your new net operating income with your answer in Question b and prove mathematically that your answers to the two questions in Question g are correct.

i. Ignore Questions g and h. If the cost per plain shirt is expected to increase by 20% and sales (in number of T shirts) are expected to be 5% less, how much is your projected net operating income (or loss)?

j. Continue Question i. If the only expense you can cut is the salary paid to yourselves, how much salary should you cut in order to break even?

k. Ignore Question i and j. Assume that you have produced 7,800 t shirts, but the actual sales for the first year turn out to be 7,000 T shirts instead of 7,800. i.e. you will have 800 T shirts left at the end of the first year. Prepare (1) a traditional format income statement

and (2) a contribution format income statement. Are the two net operating income figures

the same? Why or why not?

3.Continue k. At what amount would inventory be reported in the balance sheet of 12/31/2016 under (1) the absorption costing and (2) variable costing? Are the two ending inventory figures the same or different? Why?
