Required information Chapter 6: Applying Excel Step 1: Download the Applying Excel form located on the left-hand side, under files. If you have trouble, the file is also located in D2L under Course Administration. Step 2: Then enter formulas in all cells that contain question marks. For example, in cell B13 enter the formula "=B5". Step 3: Check your worksheet by changing the fixed expenses to $270,000. If your worksheet is operating properly, the degree of operating leverage should be 10. If you do not get this answer, find the errors in your worksheet and correct them. Step 4: Proceed to the requirements below only after completing your worksheet as it will be used to answer the following questions. Chapter 6: Applying Excel: Exercise 2. Change all of the numbers in the data area of your worksheet so that it looks like this: A B 1 Chapter 6: Applying Excel 2 3 Data 4 40,000 units 5 Unit sales Selling price per unit Variable expenses per unit 6 $ 70 per unit $ 28 per unit $ 1,260,000 7 Fixed expenses If your formulas are correct, you should get the correct answers to the following questions. (a) What is the break-even in dollar sales? Break-even in dollar sales (b) What is the margin of safety percentage? Margin of safety percentage % (c) What is the degree of operating leverage? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Degree of operating leverage 3. Using the degree of operating leverage and without changing anything in your worksheet, calculate the percentage change in net operating income if unit sales increase by 20%. Percentage increase in net operating income % 4. Confirm your calculations in Requirement 3 above by increasing the unit sales in your worksheet by 20% so that the Data area looks like this: A B C 1 Chapter 6: Applying Excel 2 Data Unit sales 48,000 units 5 Selling price per unit Variable expenses per unit $ $ 70 per unit 28 per unit 6 7 Fixed expenses 1,260,000 (a) What is net operating income? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.) Net operating income (loss) (b) By what percentage did the net operating income increase? Percentage increase in net operating income % 5. Thad Morgan, a motorcycle enthusiast, has been exploring the possibility of relaunching the Western Hombre brand of cycle that was popular in the 1930s. The retro-look cycle would be sold for $12,000 and at that price, Thad estimates 400 units would be sold each year. The variable cost to produce and sell the cycles would be $9,600 per unit. The annual fixed cost would be $480,000. a. What is the break-even in unit sales? Break-even in unit sales b. What is the margin of safety in dollars? Margin of safety in dollars c. What is the degree of operating leverage? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Degree of operating leverage Thad is worried about the selling price. Rumors are circulating that other retro brands of cycles may be revived. If so, the selling price for the Western Hombre would have to be reduced to $10,000 to compete effectively. In that event, Thad would also reduce fixed expenses to $452,000 by reducing advertising expenses, but he still hopes to sell 400 units per year. d. What would the net operating income be in this situation? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)
