Memofax, Inc. produces memory enhancement software for computers. Sales have been very erratic, with some months showing a profit and some months showing a loss. The company's contribution format income statement for the most recent month is given below: Required: 1. Compute the company's CM ratio and its break-even point in both units and dollars. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your "Break-even point in units" answer up to nearest whole number.) 2. The sales manager feels that an $17,000 increase in the monthly advertising budget, combined with an intensified effort by the sales staff, will result in a $115,000 increase in monthly sales. If the sales manager is right, what will be the effect on the company's monthly net operating income or loss? (Use the incremental approach in preparing your answer) 4. Refer to the original data. The company's advertising agency thinks that a new package would help sales. The new package being proposed would increase packaging costs by $0.5 per unit. Assuming no other changes, how many units would have to be sold each month to earn a profit of $5,400 ? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer up to nearest whole number.) 5. Refer to the original data. By automating, the company could slash its variable expenses in half. However, fixed costs would increase by $80,000 per month. a. Compute the new CM ratio and the new break-even point in both units and dollars. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your "Contribution margin ratio" answer to 2 decimal places. Round your "Break-even point" answers up to nearest whole number.) b. Assume that the company expects to sell 25,000 units next month. Prepare two contribution format income statements: one assuming that operations are not automated, and one assuming that they are. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Per Unit" and "Percentage" to 2 decimal places.)
