Erin Shelton, Inc., wants to earn a target profit of $960,000 this year. The company’s fixed costs are expected to be $1,320,000

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

1. Break-even sales = $2,200,000

2. Net Income = $0

3. Sales = $3,800,000

4. See explanation section

5. Margin of safety = $1,600,000

Margin of safety (%) = 42.11%

Explanation:

Requirement 1.

We know,

Break-even sales = Fixed expense ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Given,

Expected Fixed expense = $1,320,000

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin ÷ Sales Revenue

As we do not have contribution margin and Sales Revenue, we have to use variable costs that is expected to be 40% of sales. Therefore,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales (%) - variable costs (%) = 100% - 40% = 60%

Therefore, Break-even sales = $1,320,000 ÷ 60%

Break-even sales = $1,320,000 ÷ 60%

Therefore, Break-even sales = $2,200,000

Requirement 2.

Erin Shelton, Inc.

Contribution Margin Income Statement format

For the year ended, December 31, Current year

Sales Revenue $2,200,000 (Requirement 1)

Less: Variable expense (40% of sales) 880,000

Contribution Margin $1,320,000

Less: Fixed Expense 1,320,000

Net operating Income 0

In break-even sales, total fixed expense = total contribution margin, therefore, no income or loss.

Requirement 3.

We know,

This year, To attain profit, sales = (Fixed expense + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Given,

Expected Fixed expense = $1,320,000

Target Profit = $960,000

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin ÷ Sales Revenue

As we do not have contribution margin and Sales Revenue, we have to use variable costs that is expected to be 40% of sales. Therefore,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales (%) - variable costs (%) = 100% - 40% = 60%

Therefore, To attain profit, sales = ($1,320,000 + $960,000) ÷ 60%

To attain profit, sales = $2,280,000 ÷ 60%

Therefore, To attain profit, sales = $3,800,000

Requirement 4.

Using To attain profit, sales = $3,800,000 (From Requirement 3) to find the net operating income

Erin Shelton, Inc.

Contribution Margin Income Statement format

For the year ended, December 31, Current year

Sales Revenue $3,800,000 (Requirement 3)

Less: Variable expense (40% of sales) 1520,000

Contribution Margin $2,280,000

Less: Fixed Expense 1,320,000

Net operating Income $960,000

Requirement 5.

We know,

Margin of safety = (Current sales - Break-even sales)

From Requirement 1, we get, Break-even sales = $2,200,000

From Requirement 3, we get, Current sales = $3,800,000

Margin of safety = $3,800,000 - $2,200,000

Therefore, Margin of safety = $1,600,000

Margin of safety as percentage = [(Current sales - Break-even sales) ÷ Current sales] × 100

Margin of safety = ($1,600,000 ÷ $3,800,000) × 100

or, Margin of safety = 0.42105 × 100

Margin of safety = 42.11%

Tom [10]

Answer:

Implicit Cost and Explicit Cost

Identification of Van's cost as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling pianos:

Implicit costs:

The rental income Van could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom

The salary Van could earn if he worked as an accountant

Explicit costs:

The wages and utility bills that Van pays

The wholesale cost for the pianos that Van pays the manufacturer

2. Determining Van's accounting and economic profit of his piano business.

Profit

(Dollars)

Accounting Profit Economic Profit

Sales revenue $735,000 $735,000

Cost of pianos (435,000) (435,000)

Wages and Utility (255,000) (255,000)

Opportunity costs:

Rent (10,000)

Salary as an accountant (24,000)

Profit $45,000 $11,000

3. Alternatively, the economic profit he would earn as an accountant would be_$34,000___.

4. If Van's goal is to maximize his economic profit, he stay in the piano business.

False

5. Van is not earning a normal profit because his profit is negative.

B. False

Explanation:

Van's economic profit or loss is the difference between the revenue received from the sale of the pianos and the costs of all inputs used, as well as opportunity costs of forgone rent revenue and salary income as an accountant. To compute economic profit, opportunity costs and explicit costs are deducted from revenues earned. But to compute accounting profit, only the explicit costs are deducted from revenues earned.
