Klein Company distributes a high-quality bird feeder that sells for $50 per unit. Variable costs are $20 per unit, and xed costs total $297,000 annually. Required: Answer the following independent questions: 1. What is the product's CM ratio? _% 2. Use the CM ratio to determine the break-even point in sales dollars. 3. The company estimates that sales will increase by $69,000 during the coming year due to increased demand. By how much should operating income increase? 4. Assume that the operating results for last year were as follows: Sales $1,000,000 Variable expenses 604'000 Contribution margin 396.000 Fixed expenses 297.000 Operating income $ 99'000 3. Compute the degree of operating leverage at the current level of sales. b. The president expects sales to increase by 18% next year. By how much should operating income increase? 1 5-a. Refer to the original data. Assume that the company sold 24,500 units last year. The sales manager is convinced that a 18% reduction in the selling price, combined with a $43,000 increase in advertising expenditures, would cause annual sales in units to increase by 25%. Prepare two contribution format income statements, one showing the results of last year's operations and one showing what the results of operations would be if these changes were made. (Round "Per Unlt" answers to 2 decimal places.) 5-b. Would you recommend that the company do as the sales manager suggests? 0 Yes 0 No 6. Refer to the original data. Assume again that the company sold 24,500 units last year. The president feels that it would be unwise to change the selling price. Instead, he wants to increase the sales commission by $6 per unit. He thinks that this move, combined with some increase in advertising, would increase annual unit sales by 50%. By how much could advertising be increased with prots remaining unchanged? Do not prepare an income statement; use the incremental analysis approach
