marishachu [46]

Answer:

1-a. Total Contribution margin is $210,000 and Net operating income is $28,000.

1-b. Degree of Operating Leverage = 7.50

2-a. The expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year is 150%.

2-b. Expected amount of Net Operating Income is $70,000.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Magic Realm, Inc., has developed a new fantasy board game. The company sold 15,000 games last year at a selling price of $20 per game. Fixed costs associated with the game total $182,000 per year, and variable costs are $6 per game. Production of the game is entrusted to a printing contractor. Variable costs consist mostly of payments to this contractor.

Required:

1-a. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year.

1-b. Compute the degree of operating leverage.

2. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption:

a. What is the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year?

b. What is the expected amount of net operating income for next year? (Do not prepare an income statement; use the degree of operating leverage to compute your answer.)

Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

1-a. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year.

The contribution format income statement for the game last year can be prepared as follows:

Magic Realm, Inc.

Contribution Income Statement

For Last Year

<u>Details                               Total ($)       Per Unit ($)   </u>

Sales                                 300,000              20

Variable cost                <u>    (90,000)   </u>          <u>  (6) </u>

Contribution margin         210,000               14

Fixed expense                <u> (182,000) </u>

Net operating income   <u>   28,000  </u>

1-b. Compute the degree of operating leverage.

Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution Margin / Operating Income = $210,000 / $28,000 = 7.50

2-a. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption: What is the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year?

Since:

Degree of Operating Leverage = Percentage change in Operating Income / Percentage change in Sales

Substituting the relevant values, we have:

7.50 =  Percentage change in Operating Income / 20%

Percentage change in Operating Income = 7.5 * 20% = 150%

Therefore, the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year is 150%.

2-b. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption: What is the expected amount of net operating income for next year? (Do not prepare an income statement; use the degree of operating leverage to compute your answer.)

This can be calculated as follows:

Change in Net Operating Income = 150% * $28,000 = $42,000

Expected amount of Net Operating Income = Current Net Operating Income + Change in Net Operating Income = $28,000 + $42,000 = $70,000

Skyline Florists uses an activity-based costing system to compute the cost of making floral bouquets and delivering the bouquets
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

1. $9.07

2. $25.5

Explanation:

(a) Total Cost:

= 260,000 × 60% (Wages and Salaries) + 60,000 × 50% (Other Overhead)

= $186,000

Cost of Wages and Salaries and Other Overheads Charged to Each Bouquet:

= Total Cost ÷ Total Bouquets

= $186,000 ÷ 20,500

= $9.07

(b) Total Cost:

= 260,000 × 30% (Wages and Salaries) + 60,000 × 40% (Other Overhead)

= $102,000

Cost of Wages and Salaries and Other Overheads Charged to Each Delivery:

= Total Cost ÷ Total Delivery

= $102,000 ÷ 4,000

= $25.5
