Answer:

Time Warner, Inc.

a) Contribution Margin and Contribution Margin Ratio for each segment:

                                             Turner      Home Box Office       Warner Bros.

Revenues                            $75,100           $43,200                   $44,500

Variable costs                       20,277                6,912                        11,125 Contribution margin          $54,823           $36,288                    $33,375

Contribution margin ratio

   (as a percent of Revenue)    73%                  84%                          75%

b) The answer in (a) does not mean that the two other segments are more profitable than Turner.  The Contribution Margin Ratio is not enough to decide the profitability of each segment.  It only shows the percentage of revenue that is left after deducting the variable costs.  To determine profitability, fixed costs will be deducted from the contribution margin.  Fixed costs refer to the periodic costs associated with running the different segments.

Explanation:

Segment Contribution Margin Analysis helps management to review the contributions made by each segment to the entity.  It shows the difference between segmental revenues and segmental variable costs.

<u>Inventory Budget</u>

                                                  October              November

Total                                         $752,920            $772,800

<u>Purchase Budget</u>

                                                 October                November

Budgeted Purchases           $2,259,320            $2,397,880

Explanation:

<u>Cost of Goods Sold Budget</u>

Gross Profit Margin = 30% therefore Markup is 70%

                                                  October             November       December  

Sales                                       $2,240,000         $2,378,000     $2,520,000

Cost of Goods Sold (70%)     $1,568,000          $1,664,600      $1,764, 000

<u>Inventory Budget</u>

                                                  October                       November

Base Amount                          $420,000                       $420,000

Based on Sales (20%)            $332,920                        $352,800

Total                                         $752,920                       $772,800

<u>Purchase Budget</u>

                                                               October                       November

Budgeted Sales                                    $2,240,000                $2,378,000

Add Budgeted Closing Inventory           $752,920                   $772,800

Total Purchases Needed                     $2,992,920                 $3,150,800

Less Budgeted Opening Inventory       ($733,600)                 ($752,920)

Budgeted Purchases                            $2,259,320                $2,397,880

September Closing Stock is October`s Opening Stock

Therefore September Closing Stock = $420,000 + $1,568,000 × 20%

                                                             = $733,600
