Rather than purchase new equipment, the marketing manager argues that the company's marketing strategy should be changed. Rather

than pay sales commissions, which are currently included in variable expenses, the company would pay salespersons fixed salaries and would invest heavily in advertising. The marketing manager claims this new approach would increase unit sales by 50% without any change in selling price; the company's new monthly fixed expenses would be $331,200, and its net operating income would increase by 25%.
Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the company under the new marketing strategy.

Morton Company's contribution format income statement for last month is given below:

Sales (46,000 units * $24 per unit) $1,104,000
Variable expenses $772,800
Contribution margin $331,200
Fixed expenses $264,960
Net operating income $66,240

Answer:

Break-even point (dollars)= $1,104,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company's new monthly fixed expenses would be $331,200.

Selling price= 24

Unitary variable cost= (772,800/46,000)= 16.8 per unit

With this information we can calculate the break-even point both in units and dollars:

Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even point= 331,200/ (24 - 16.8)= 46,000 units

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 331,200/ (7.2/24)= $1,104,000

Suppose Nick would like to invest $10,000 of his savings.
sammy [17]

Answer:

1. Suppose TouchTech, a hand-held computing firm, is selling stocks to raise money for a new lab—a practice known as___project__ finance. Buying a share of TouchTech stock would give Nick____equity interest in____ the firm. In the event that TouchTech runs into financial difficulty, _____bonds_____will be paid first.

2. Correct statements:

a. Expectations of a recession that will reduce economy-wide corporate profits will likely cause the value of Nick's shares to decline.

c. An increase in the perceived profitability of TouchTech will likely cause the value of Nick's shares to rise.

d. Alternatively, Nick could invest by purchasing bonds issued by the government of Japan.

3. Assuming that everything else is equal, a bond issued by a government that is engaged in a civil war most likely pays a ___higher__ interest rate than a bond issued by the government of Japan.

Explanation:

When Nick purchases stock in the private company, he invests in the equity of the company.  Project finance can be done through equity financing or debt financing.  Equity financing gives Nick an equity interest in the TouchTech and a share in the decision-making of the business, whereas debt financing pays a fixed amount of interest periodically without a share in the decision-making of the company.

Socks unlimited produces sport socks. the company has fixed expenses of $ 85 comma 000 and variable expenses of $ 1.20 per packa
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Contribution margin per unit = Sales price per unit – Variable cost per unit

$2 - $1.20=$0.80

The contribution margin per package is $ 0.80.

Breakeven sales in units = Fixed expenses + Operating income ) / Contribution margin per unit $85,000 + $22,000/0.80 = 133,750 packages

Contribution margin per package = $2 - $1.00 = $1.00

Breakeven sales in units = Fixed expenses + Operating income ) / Contribution margin per unit

$100,000 + $22,000/$1= 122,000 packages

The firm will have to sell 122,000 packages to generate $22,000 of operating income. Socks unlimited would have to sell 11,750 less packages of socks to earn $22,000 of operating income. The increase in fixed costs was completely offset by the decrease in variable costs at the prior target profit volume of sales. Therefore, the firm will need to sell less units in order to achieve its target profit level.
