Juicy Beauty's Cost Structure:

1. Juicy Beauty's Contribution Income Statement, June 2017

Units sold 20,000

Revenues                                                       $200,000

Variable Cost:

Variable manufacturing costs      $110,000

Variable marketing costs              $10,000

Total Variable Cost                                          120,000

Contribution                                                    $80,000

Fixed costs:

Fixed manufacturing costs             40,000

Fixed marketing & admin costs     20,000

Total Fixed costs                                              60,000

Operating income                                         $20,000

2a) Contribution Margin Percentage = $80,000/$200,000 x 100 = 40%

2b) Breakeven point in units and revenue:

To breakeven, total costs = total revenue

Breakeven point in units = Fixed Cost/Contribution per unit = $60,000/$4 = 15,000 units

Breakeven point in revenue = Fixed Cost/Contribution margin ratio = $60,000/40% = $150,000

3. Margin of Safety = (Sales - Break-even revenue)/Sales x 100 = ($200,000 - $150,000)/$200,000 x 100 = $50,000/$200,000 x 100 = 25%

4. Calculation of Net Income with sales of 16,000 units and Tax of 30%:

Sales                $160,000

Variable cost      96,000

Contribution    $64,000

Fixed Cost         60,000

Pretax Income   $4,000

Tax                       1,200

Net Income      $2,800

Units sold 20,000

Revenues                                                       $200,000

Cost of goods sold:

Variable manufacturing costs      $110,000

Fixed manufacturing costs             40,000

Total                                                                  150,000

Gross margin                                                   $50,000

Operating costs:

Variable marketing costs              $10,000

Fixed marketing & admin costs     20,000

Total operating costs                                       30,000

Operating income                                         $20,000

b) Financial accounting prepares the income statement differently from the way that cost and management accounting prepare the income statement.  Financial accounting emphasizes gross profit - using absorption costing technique.  Management accounting focuses on contribution using variable costing.  In variable costing, costs are identified according to their behaviors.

c) The breakeven point is the level of production at which the costs of production equal the revenues for a product.  This means that there is no profit.

d) The contribution margin ratio is the ratio of contribution margin to the sales.  It is expressed in percentage.

e) The margin of safety is the ratio of the difference between sales revenue and breakeven revenue over the sales revenue.  It is expressed in percentage.

Answer: Please see explanation column for answer

Explanation:

Recasting  the income statement to emphasize contribution margin.

Juicy Beauty Operating Income Statement, June 2017

Units sold                                                            20,000

Revenues                                                         $200,000

Variable costs(subtract):

Variable manufacturing costs    $110,000

Variable marketing costs             $10,000

Total variable costs                                                 $120,000  

Contribution margin                                                   $80,000

Fixed costs

fixed manufacturing costs                         40,000

Fixed marketing and administrative costs 20,000

Total fixed cost                                                                $60,000

Operating income                                                           $20,000

Working  for income statement above =

Contribution margin = Revenue -Total  variable cost =$200,000- ($110,000 + $10,000) - $80,000

Operating income= Contribution margin - Total fixed cost = $80,000 - $($40,000 +$20,000) -=$20,000

2  The contribution margin percentage and breakeven point in units and revenues for June 2017.

Contribution margin percentage = ,Contribution margin/ Revenue x 100%

= $80,000/ $200,000 x 100= 40 %

Contribution margin per unit = ,Contribution margin/ units sold

                                                   80,000 / 20,000= $4 per unit

Break  even point units  = Total fixed cost/ ,Contribution margin per unit

 = $60,000/ $4=  15,000units

Break even revenue=

we first calculate the selling price = Revenue / units sold = $200,000/ 20,000 =$10

Break even revenue=Break even units x per unit sold = $15,000 x $10 = $150,000.

3. Margin of safety = units sold - break even point unit

20,000 - 15,000 =5000 units

4. If the sales is 16,000 and tax is 30% , Net income is

Units sold                     16,000

Revenue                     $160,000

Contribution margin    $64,000

Total fixed cost           - $60,000

Operation income       $4,000

tax at 30 %                  - $ 1200

Net income                 $2,800

working

Revenue = units sold x sale per unit = 16,000 x $10 = $160,000

Contribution margin = Revenue x contribution margin percentage = $160,000 x 40% = $64,000

Operation income = contribution margin - fixed costs= $64,000 - $60,000 = $4000

Tax = 30% of 4000 = $1200

Net income = $4000 - $1200 = $2,800
