Direct Labor $1.50
Variable Manufacturing Overhead $0.40
Variable Selling Expenses $1.10
Variable Costs $6.00
c. The net income before tax of The Hampshire Company = $94,475.00
Units | Price | Totals | |
Sales | 60,000 | $12.50 | $750,000 |
Variable Costs | 60,000 | $6.00 | $360,000 |
Fixed Costs | $295,525 | $295,525 | |
Net Income | $94,475 |
Contribution Margin
Contribution Margin per Unit in Dollars = Selling Price Variable Costs
$6.5 = $12.5 - $6
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin/Selling Price
52% = $6.5 / $12.5
Break-Even Points in units = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margins
45,465 = $295,525 / $6.5
Break-Even Points Sales = Break-Even Points in units x Selling Price in units
$568,317 = 45,465 x $12.5
In conclusion, the companys break-even point in total dollars of sales is $568,317. Therefore, the Hampshire Company is breaking-even.
Margin of Safety
a. In units
Margin of Safety in Units = Current Unit Sales Break-Even Point in Unit Sales
14,534.62 = 60,000 45,465
b. In sales dollars
Margin of Safety in Dollars = Current Sales in Dollars Break-Even Point Sales in Dollars
$181,683 = $750,000 - $568,317
c. As a percentage
Margin of Safety as a Percentage = Margin of Sales in Units / Current Unit Sales
24% = 14,535 / 60,000
Degree of Operating Leverage
Contribution Margin = Sales Variable Costs
$390,000 = $750,000 - $360,000
Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution Margin / Operating Income (Net Income)
4.1281 = $390,000 / $94,475
Before-Tax Income Increased by 20%
Sales increase = Current Sales + 20%
72,000 = 60,000 + 20%
Units | $ Per Unit | Totals | |
Sales | 72,000 | $12.50 | $900,000 |
Variable Costs | 72,000 | $6.00 | $432,000 |
Fixed Costs | $295,525 | ||
Net Income | $172,475 |
Operating Leverage = (Sales Variable Costs) / Net Income
2.71343673 = ($900,000 - $432,000) / $172,475
Increasing = (Increasing Net Income Prior Net Income) / Prior Net Income
82.56% = ($172,475 $94,475) / $94,475
Prior Income | $94,475.00 | From Part 1 |
Increase | 82.56% | Prior Income X XX% Above |
Total | $172,475.00 |
Targeted Income
Targeted Income = (Fixed Costs + Target Income) / Contribution Margin
Fixed Costs + Target Income | Divided by Contribution Margin | # of Units (Rounded) | |
Fixed Costs | $295,525 | $6.50 | 45,465 |
Target Income | $150,000 | $6.50 | 23077 |
Total | $445,525 | $6.50 | 68,542 |
Proof for calculation
0 | # of Units Above X $ Per Unit | |
Revenue | 68542 x 12.50 | $856,779 |
Variable Costs | 68542 x 6.5 | $411,254 |
Contribution Margin | $445,525 | |
Fixed Costs | $295,525 | |
Net Income | $150,000 |
Sales Mix
Variable Costs Specialty = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Variable Manufacturing Overhead + Variable Selling Expenses
$6.2 = $3 + $1.5 + $0.40 + $1.3
Current | Specialty | Total | |
Expected Sales Units | 60,000 | 5,000 | 65,000 |
Revenue = Sales X Price | $750,000 | $55,000 | $805,000 |
Variable Costs X Units | $360,000 | $31,000 | $391,000 |
Contribution Margin | $390,000 | $24,000 | $414,000 |
Fixed Costs | $295,525 | $15,000 | $310,525 |
Operating Income | $103,475 | ||
Prior Net Income From Requirement 1 | $94,475.00 | ||
Additional Operating Income | (Operating Income Above Less Prior Income) | $9,000.00 |
Decision:
Yes, the company should continue with the specialty sales as it will lead to increase in income of $9000
CVP Analysis Used For Management:
a. To determine the level of profit for a given level of sales.
Profit = Total Revenue Total Variable Cost Total Fixed Cost
$750,000 - $360,000 - $295,525 = $94,475
b. To determine the level of sales necessary to achieve a target profit.
Targeted Income = (Fixed Costs + Target Income) / Contribution Margin
($295,525 + 150,000) / $6.5 = 68,542 units
