Lexington Company

Income Statement for the year ended - Year 1

Revenue Earned                                                $3,200

Northwood Company manufactures basketballs. The company has a ball that sells for S25. At present, the ball is manufactured in a
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

1A. Compute the CM ratio and the break-even point in balls.

  • CM ratio = 2.5
  • break even point = 21,000 balls

1B. Compute the degree of operating leverage at last year.

  • 31.82%

2. Due to an increase in labor rates, the company estimates that variable expenses will increase by $3 per ball next year. If this change takes place and the selling price per ball remains constant at $25, what will be the new CM ratio and break-even point in balls?

  • CM ratio = 3.57
  • break even point = 30,000 balls

3. Refer to the data in (2) above. If the expected change in variable expenses takes place, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $90,000, last year?

  • 42,858 balls

4. The president feels that the company must raise the selling price of its basketballs. If Northwood Company wants to maintain the same CM ratio as last year, what selling price per ball must it charge next year to cover the increased labor costs?

  • new price of $28 per ball

5. The company is discussing the construction of a new, automated manufacturing plant. The new plant would slash variable expenses per ball by 40%, but it would cause fixed expenses per year to double. If the new plant is built, what would be the company's new CM ratio and new break-even point in balls?

  • CM = 1.32
  • 26,250 balls

6.a. If the new plant is built, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $90,000, as last year?

  • 31,875 balls

6.b. Assume the new plant is built and that next year the company manufactures and sells 30,000 balls (the same number as sold last year). Prepare a contribution format income statement and compute the degree of operating leverage.

Income Statement

Total revenue $750,000

Variable expenses <u>($270,000) </u>

Contribution margin $480,000

Fixed expenses <u>($420,000 )</u>

Net operating income $60,000

Degree of operating leverage = 60.87%

6.c. If you were a member of top management, would you have been in favor of constructing the new plant?

  • If you cannot avoid paying the salary raise, then the company needs to carry on the new plant project.

Explanation:

sales price per ball = $25

variable expenses: $15 per unit

  • direct labor $9
  • other variable costs $6

CM ratio = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $300,000 = 2.5

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $210,000 / $10 = 21,000 balls

degree of operating leverage = fixed costs / total costs = $210,000 / $660,000 = 31.82%

new CM ratio = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $210,000 = 3.57

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $210,000 / $7 = 30,000 balls

sales level for $90,000 profit = ($210,000 + $90,000) / $7 = 42,857.14 ≈ 42,858 balls

CM ratio (new plant) = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $570,000 = 1.32

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $420,000 / $16 = 26,250 balls

sales level for $90,000 profit = ($420,000 + $90,000) / $16 = 31,875 balls

Find the present value of the following stream of cash flows assuming that the firms opportuiny costs is 9 percent. 1-5 years 10
Yanka [14]

Answer:

   ∑( Cash flow × PVF) = 79,347

Explanation:

Given:

Opportunity cost = 9%

Cash flow for 1-5 years = 10,000

Cash flow for 6-10 years = 16,000

Now,

Present value factor (PVF) = \frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{(1 + 0.09)^n}}

here, n is the year

For year 1 to  5

Year             Cash flow             PVF             Cash flow × PVF

1                     10000             0.9174             9174

2                     10000             0.8417             8417

3                      10000             0.7722             7722

4                      10000             0.7084             7084

5                      10000             0.6499             6499

for years 6 to 10

Year             Cash flow             PVF             Cash flow × PVF

6                      16000              0.5963             9540.8

7                      16000              0.547             8752

8                      16000              0.5019             8030.4

9                      16000             0.4604             7366.4

10                      16000             0.4224             6758.4

========================================================

                                          ∑( Cash flow × PVF) = 79,347

========================================================

taking the PVF to 5 decimal places will make 79,347 ≈ 79,348
