Astro Co. sold 20,000 units of its only product and incurred a $50,000 loss (ignoring taxes) for the current year as shown here.

During a planning session for year 2016’s activities, the production manager notes that variable costs can be reduced 50% by installing a machine that automates several operations. To obtain these savings, the company must increase its annual fixed costs by $200,000. The maximum output capacity of the company is 40,000 units per year.

ASTRO COMPANY

Forecasted Contribution Margin Income Statement

For Year Ended December 31, 2016

Sales                             $ 1,000,000

Variable costs               ($ 400,000 )

Contribution margin      $ 600,000

Fixed costs                    ($ 450,000 )

Net loss                           $ 150,000

Required 4.

Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = $1,833,333

Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = 73,334

Explanation:

Break even point is the level of activity where a Company neither makes a profit nor a loss.

<em>Break even point (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin Ratio</em>

Where,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales

                                           = $ 200,000 / $ 1,000,000

                                           = 0.20

Therefore,

Break even point (dollar sales) = $250,000 / 0.20

                                                   = $1,250,000

<u>Assuming the machine is installed</u>

Contribution Margin Ratio = ($ 1,000,000 - $400,000) / $ 1,000,000

                                           = $600,000 / $1,000,000

                                           = 0.60

Therefore,

Break even point (dollar sales) = ($250,000 + $200,000) / 0.60

                                                   = $750,000

Sales to meet target profit of $200,000

Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost + Target Profit  / Contribution Margin Ratio

                                                                  = ($450,000 + $200,000) / 0.60

                                                                  = $1,833,333

Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = $1,833,333 / $25

                                                               = 73,334

The quantity demanded of cereal increased from 1,350 to 1,700 when the price of milk decreased from $2.05 to $1.65. What is the
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

-1.33

Explanation:

Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good X to changes in price of good Y.

Cross price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded of good X / percentage change in price of good Y

Percentage change in quantity demanded = (1700 / 1350) - 1 = 0.2593 = 25.93%

Percentage change in price = (1.65 / 2.05) - 1 = -0.1951 = -19.51%

25.93% / -19.51% = -1.33
