Problem 18-7A Break-even analysis with composite units LO P4 Patriot Co. manufactures and sells three products: red, white, and

blue. Their unit selling prices are red, $20; white, $35; and blue, $65. The per unit variable costs to manufacture and sell these products are red, $12; white, $22; and blue, $50. Their sales mix is reflected in a ratio of 5:4:2 (red:white:blue). Annual fixed costs shared by all three products are $250,000. One type of raw material has been used to manufacture all three products. The company has developed a new material of equal quality for less cost. The new material would reduce variable costs per unit as follows: red, by $6; white, by $12; and blue, by $10. However, the new material requires new equipment, which will increase annual fixed costs by $50,000.
Required:
1. Assume if the company continues to use the old material, determine its break-even point in both sales units and sales dollars of each individual product.
2. Assume if the company uses the new material, determine its new break-even point in both sales units and sales dollars of eac individual product.

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling prices:

red= $20

white= $35

blue= $65.

Unitary variable cost:

red= $12

white= $22

blue= $50

Sales proportion:

red= 5/11= 0.46

white= 4/11= 0.36

blue= 2/11= 0.18

Fixed costs= $250,000

1) To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)

Weighted average contribution margin= (0.46*20 + 0.36*35 + 0.18*65) - (0.46*12 + 0.36*22 + 0.18*50)= 33.5 - 22.44= 11.06

Break-even point (units)= 250,000/11.06= 22,604 units

<u>Sales proportion (units):</u>

red= 0.46*22,604= 10,398

white= 0.36*22,604= 8,137

blue= 0.18*22,604= 4,069

To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:

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

Break-even point (dollars)= 250,000 / (11.06/33.5)

Break-even point (dollars)= $757,233.27

<u>Sales proportion (dollars):</u>

red= 0.46*757,233.27= $348,327.30

white= 0.36*757,233.27= 272,603.98

blue= 0.18*757,233.27= 136,301.99

2)Unitary variable cost:

red= $6

white= $10

blue= $40

Fixed costs= 300,000

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)

Weighted average contribution margin= (0.46*20 + 0.36*35 + 0.18*65) - (0.46*6 + 0.36*10 + 0.18*40)= 33.5 - 13.56= $19.94

Break-even point (units)= 300,000/19,94= 15,045 units

Sales proportion (units):

red= 0.46* 15,045= 6,921

white= 0.36* 15,045= 5,416

blue= 0.18* 15,045= 2,708

To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:

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

Break-even point (dollars)= 300,000 / (19.94/33.5)

Break-even point (dollars)= $504,012

Sales proportion (dollars):

red= 0.46*504,012= 231,845.52

white= 0.36*504,012= 181,444.32

blue= 0.18*504,012= 90,722.16

(B)  $    4,156.97  

(C)  $   8,233.47

(D)  $ 46,796.64

Explanation:

We need to solve for the PMT of an ordinary annuity:

FV \div \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = C\\

(A)

FV 24,850

time   8

rate           0.05

24850 \div \frac{(1+0.05)^{8}-1 }{0.05} = C\\

C  $ 2,602.337

(B)

FV 1,030,000

time:    43

rate        0.07

1030000 \div \frac{(1+0.07)^{43} -1}{0.07} = C\\

C  $ 4,156.972

(C)

FV 856,000

time   29

rate             0.08

856000 \div \frac{(1+0.08)^{29} -1}{0.08} = C\\

C  $ 8,233.466

(D)

FV 856,000

time    14

rate        0.04

856000 \div \frac{(1+0.04)^{14} -1}{0.04} = C\\

C  $ 46,796.641

padilas [110]

In economics, short run is time frame in which the quantities of quantities of some factors of production are​ fixed; and long run is period of time in which quantities of all the factors of production that can be varied.

<h3>What is production?</h3>

Production is the process of mixing several inputs, both material (like metal, wood, glass, or polymers) and immaterial (like plans, or information) in order to produce output. A valuable good or service that enhances people's utility will be this output's ideal form. Production theory is the branch of economics that focuses on production; it is closely tied to the consumption theory of the economy. Utilizing the first inputs productively leads directly to the manufacturing process and results. Land, labor, and capital are regarded as the three major production components and are known as primary producer commodities or services. These essential ingredients do not substantially change during the output process or turn into a complete part of the final product.

Stephanie owns land (adjusted basis of $90,000; fair ma阳value of $125,000) 』- that she uses in her business. She exchanges it fo
melisa1 [442]

Answer: A. $25,000 B. $90,000 C. $25,000

Explanation:

A.

Land                                       $100,000

Stock                                         25,000

Amount realized                    125,000

Less: Adjusted basis              (90000)

Recognized gain                   $35,000

When you receive book in an exchange which is similar or like kind, then the recognized gain is the lesser of either the boot or recognized gain. Here the lesser is the boot received which is $25,000. Therefore, recognized gain is $25,000

B.

Because the recognized gain is taken as $25,000 rather than $35,000. The $10,000 amount is considered as postponed gain. Hence,

$100,000 (land worth) - $10,000 (postponed gain) = $90,000 - basis of new land.

C.

The worth of the stock is the basis in the stock received. Which is $25,000

KIM [24]

The correct answer is $13,500

The insurance coverage for the garage will cover the garage for 10% of the insured value of the home. This is calculated by multiplying .1 x $135,000 = $13,500.

Even though there is $15,000 in damage, the garage is only covered for $13,5000 of insurance.
