1 Question 3- Product line Analysis (29 marks) 2 The owners of Mountain Sports Ltd. are currently reviewing a proposal to adopt a new product line-BMX Bicycles. This new product line will be compatible with the Mountain Bikes and open a new target market, younger customers. It is anticipated that the BMX line be introduced next spring. 3 4 Management has estimated the following: 5 Expected sales in bikes 420 6 Average selling price per bike $ 7 Purchase cost (COGS) per bike $ 8 Assembly cost per bike $ 9 Sales clerks required-seasonal 55.00 2 10 Monthly Salary per Sales Clerk $ 1,231 15% 11 Sales commissions 12 Advertising campaign (annual cost) $ 5,939 13 14 The additional sales clerks required for the BMX line will only work for four months of the year (May to August). 15 Required: Part A (Chapter 6) (13 marks): Prepare a CVP income statement (for a one year period) to determine the segment margin for the new BMX Bikes product line. 16 17 BMX Product Line 18. 19 Budgeted CVP Income Statement For the year ended December 31, 2020 TOTAL Per Bike Percentage 20 Number of Bikes 21 Sales Revenue 22 Less: Variable Costs (must be listed alphabetically) 25 26 Total Variable Costs 27 28 Less: Fixed Costs (must be listed alphabetically) 29 30 31 Total Fixed Cost NZD S 23 24 32 352.00 107.00 420 100% 34 Required Part 8 (Chapter 6 & 717 marks) This new BMX bike product line will create an increase in sales of two departments: Accessories (refer to 02 segmented income statement for department information). However, due to the floor space required for retailing BMX Bikes, management estimates that sales of Mountain Bikes will decrease (hint: remember that variable costs will also change when sales change) 35 36 Increase in Accessories Sales 13% 8% 37 Decrease in Mountain Bikes Sales 38 What is the impact to the company's income as a whole if the BMX product line is added (hint: consider the segment margin of the BMX product line, and the impact to the other product lines. Remember that if sales change for a product line, the total variable costs will also change. Thus, contribution margin should be used in your calculations for the other product lines). 39 40 41 Increase in BMX Segment Margin $ 42 Increase in Contribution Margin-Accessories Decrease in Contribution Margin-Mountain Bikes (show as 43 negative number) 44 NET Increase (Decrease) in Operating income 45 46 DECISION: Should the company add the BMX bike product line? 17 48Why or why not? 19 50 Required Part C: Pricing (Chapter 9) (9 marks) Assume management has decided to go ahead with offering the BMX product line.
