Sam has recently found out that prices from his manufacturer will be increasing the variable cost by $40 when it used to only be

$80. Sam wants to determine if he can keep the selling price the same for customers by decreasing his fixed costs by $15,000. Currently Sam’s sales are $300,000 at $200 per unit, and his fixed costs are $95,000. If Sam makes his proposed changes, how many sales in units will he need to make to keep prices the same while earning the same profit?

Answer:

New units sale= 2,063 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sam has recently found out that prices from his manufacturer will be increasing the variable cost by $40 when it used to only be $80. Sam wants to determine if he can keep the selling price the same for customers by decreasing his fixed costs by $15,000. Currently, Sam’s sales are $300,000 at $200 per unit, and his fixed costs are $95,000.

First, we need to calculate the current profit:

Sales in units= 1,500

Contribution margin= (200 - 80)*1,500= 180,000

Fixed costs= 95,000 (-)

Profit= 85,000

To calculate the units required to adapt to the new changes using the following formula:

Break-even point= (fixed costs + profit)/ contribution margin

Break-even point= (80,000 + 85,000)/ (200 - 120)

Break-even point= 2,063 units

Nina [5.8K]

1. How many shares of Apple common stock are issued and outstanding at (a) September 30, 2017, and (b) September 24, 2016?

2016: 5,470,820  shares

2017: 5,217,242  shares

2. What is the total amount of cash dividends paid to common stockholders for the years ended (a) September 30, 2017, and (b) September 24, 2016?

2016: $12 billion paid in dividends

2017: $12.6 billion paid in dividends

3. Identify basic EPS amounts for fiscal years (a) 2017 and (b) 2016.

2016: $8.35 per share

2017: $9.27 per share

4. Is Apple’s EPS on a favorable or unfavorable trend from 2016 to 2017?

favorable since it increased from $8.35 to $9.27, or 11%

5. If Apple buys back outstanding shares from investors, would you expect EPS to increase or decrease from the buyback?

EPS should increase since the total amount of outstanding shares will decrease. Wen you are calculating a fraction, if the denominator decreases, the value of the fraction increases. Apple has excess cash, so it can afford to buy back shares without affecting its normal operations.
