Integrative Exercise Cost Behavior and Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis for Many Glacier Hotel Using the High-Low Method to Estimate Variable and Fixed Costs Located on Swiftcurrent Lake in Glacier National Park, Many Glacier Hotel was built in 1915 by the Great Northern Railway. In an effort to supplement its lodging revenue, the hotel decided in 20x1 to begin manufacturing and selling small wooden canoes decorated with symbols hand painted by Native Americans living near the park. Due to the great success of the canoes, the hotel began manufacturing and selling paddles as well in 20x3. Many hotel guests purchase a canoe and paddles for use in self-guided tours of Swiftcurrent Lake. Because production of the two products began in different years, the canoes and paddles are produced in separate production facilities and employ different laborers. Each canoe sells for $500, and each paddle sells for $50. A 20X3 fire destroyed the hotel's accounting records. However, a new system put into place before the 20X4 season provides the following aggregated data for the hotel's canoe and paddle manufacturing and marketing activities: Manufacturing Data: Number of Total Cance Canoes Manufacturing Year Manufactured Costs 20x9 250 $103,000 Number of Total Paddle Paddles Manufacturing Year Manufactured Costs 20x9 900 $38,500 Manuracturing Data: Number of Total Canoe Canoes Manufacturing Year Manufactured Costs Number of Total Paddle Paddles Manufacturing Year Manufactured Costs $103,000 900 $38.500 20x9 20x8 128,000 250 275 240 310 350 20x9 20x8 20x7 49,000 1.200 1.000 1,100 44,000 45,500 108,000 114,000 141,500 140,000 1.400 52,000 400 20x4 1,700 66,500 Marketing Data: Number of Total Canoe Canoes Marketing Year Sold Costs Number of Total Paddle Paddles Marketing Sold Costs Year $45,000 20X9 900 $7,500 9,000 43,000 44,000 20x8 20x7 8.000 20x9 250 20x8 275 20x7240 20X6 310 20xs 350 20X4 400 51,000 20X6 1,200 1,000 1,100 1,400 1,700 8.500 62,000 60,000 20x5 20x4 10,000 11,500 Required: 1. High-Low Cost Estimation Method a. Use the high-low method to estimate the per-unit variable costs and total fixed costs for the canoe product line. Variable cost per unit Total foed cost b. Use the high-low method to estimate the per-unit variable costs and total fixed costs for the paddle product line. Variable cost per unit Total fixed cost 2. Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis, Single-Product Setting Use CVP analysis to calculate the break-even point in units for a. The canoe product line only (i.e., single-product setting) BE units b. The paddle product line only (i.e., single-product setting) 3. Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis, Multiple-Product Setting The hotel's accounting system data show an average sales mix of approximately 300 canoes and 1,200 paddles each season. Significantly more paddles are sold relative to canoes because some inexperienced canoe guests accidentally break one or more paddles, while other guests purchase additional paddles as presents for friends and relatives. In addition, for this multiple-product CVP analysis, assume the existence of an additional $30,000 of common fixed costs for a customer service hotline used for both canoe and paddle customers. Use CVP analysis to calculate the break-even point in units for both the canoe and paddle product lines combined (i.e., the multiple- product setting). Canoe BE units cances Paddle BE units paddles 4. Cost Classification a. Classify the manufacturing costs, marketing costs, and customer service hotline costs either as production costs or period costs. 4. Cost Classification a. Classify the manufacturing costs, marketing costs, and customer service hotline costs either as production costs or period costs. All manufacturing costs are costs. All marketing costs and customer hotline costs are costs b. For the period costs, further classify them into either selling expenses or general and administrative expenses Marketing costs are selling oriented; therefore, the marketing period costs would be further classified as . Customer hotline costs relate to the customer service section of the value chain and would be further classified as 5. Sensitivity Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis and Production Versus Period Costs, Multiple- Product Setting If both the variable and fixed production costs (refer to your answer to Requirement 1) associated with the canoe product line increased by 5% (beyond the estimate from the high-low analysis), how many canoes and paddles would need to be sold in order to earn a target income of $96,000? Assume the same sales mix and additional fixed costs as in Requirement 3. cances Canoe target Income units Paddle target income units pades 6. Margin of Safety Calculate the hotel's margin of safety (both in units and in costs b. For the period costs, further classify them into either selling expenses or general and administrative expenses.
