Belmain Co. expects to maintain the same inventories at the end of 20Y7 as at the beginning of the year. The total of all produc

tion costs for the year is therefore assumed to be equal to the cost of goods sold. With this in mind, the various department heads were asked to submit estimates of the costs for their departments during the year. A summary report of these estimates is as follows:
Estimated Fixed Costs Estimated Variable Cost (per unit sold)
Production costs:
Direct materials………………………………………………………………. -- $50.00
Direct labor…………………………………………………………………….. -- 30
Factory overhead……………………………………………………………. $350,000 6
Selling expenses:
Sales salaries and commissions………………………………………. 340,000 4
Advertising……………………………………………………………………… 116,000 --
Travel……………………………………………………………………………… 4,000 --
Miscellaneous selling expense………………………………………… 2,300 1
Administrative expenses:
Office and officers’ salaries…………………………………………….. 325,000 --
Supplies………………………………………………………………………….. 6,000 4
Miscellaneous administrative expense 8,700 1
Total……………………………………………………………………………………………… $1,152,000 $96.00


It is expected that 12,000 units will be sold at a price of $240 a unit. Maximum sales within the relevant range are 18,000 units.

Required:

a. Prepare an estimated income statement for 2017.
b. What is the expected contribution margin ratio?

Contribution                                                                               $1,728,000

Factory overhead                                                                     ($350,000)

<u><em>Part b</em></u>

0.6 or 60 %

<u><em>Part c</em></u>

Break-even sales (units) = 8,000

Break-even sales (dollars) = $1,920,000

<u><em>Part d</em></u>

<em>See attachment </em>

<u><em>Part e</em></u>

Margin of safety in dollars  =    $960,000

Margin of safety in percentage  =  33.3 %

<em><u>Part f</u></em>

Operating Leverage = 3.00

Explanation:

<u>Income Statement :</u>

<em>Sales - Expenses = Income</em>

Note : I have separated Variable and Fixed Expenses

<u>Contribution Margin ratio :</u>

<em>Contribution Margin ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales</em>

                                          =  $1,728,000  ÷  $2,880,000

                                          = 0.6 or 60 %

<u>Break-even sales ( units and dollars) :</u>

<em>Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit</em>

                                        = $1,152,000 ÷ $144.00

                                        = 8,000

<em>Break-even sales (dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution margin ratio</em>

                                            = $1,152,000 ÷ 0.60

                                            = $1,920,000

<u>Margin of safety in dollars and as a percentage of sales :</u>

<u />

<em>Margin of safety in dollars  = Expected Sales (dollars) - Break-even sales (dollars)</em>

                                             =  $2,880,000 - $1,920,000

                                             =   $960,000

<em>Margin of safety in %       = (Expected Sales  - Break-even sales ) ÷ Expected Sales</em>

                                             = $960,000 ÷ $2,880,000

                                             = 33.3 %

<u>Operating leverage</u>

<em>Operating Leverage = Contribution ÷ Earnings Before Interest and Tax</em>

                                  =  $1,728,000 ÷ $576,000

                                  = 3.00

Gunst Company produces three video games: Android, Bio-Mutant, and Cyclops. Cost and revenue data pertaining to each product are
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Gunst should produce 500 Bio-mutant games:

  • total contribution margin = $71 x 500 = $35,500

Explanation:

                                   Android          Bio-mutant          Cyclops

selling price                  $100                 $107                   $125

labor                               $48                  $24                     $60

direct materials               $9                    $8                       $16

variable overhead          $7                     $4                        $9

contribution margin      $36                   $71                      $40

labor hours                        4                       2                          5

Bio-mutant generates by far the largest contribution margin and requires the least direct labor hours.

Gunst should produce 500 Bio-mutant games:

  • total revenue = $107 x 500 = $53,500
  • total contribution margin = $71 x 500 = $35,500

If it produces 250 Android games its total contribution margin will = $9,000

If it produces 200 Cyclops games its total contribution margin will = $8,000

Yehle Inc. regularly uses material Y51B and currently has in stock 457 liters of the material for which it paid $2,619 several w
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Option A is the correct answer,$5810

Explanation:

The relevant of the Y51B is the cost of replacement,which is the open market price as it is actively being used by Yehle Inc.

Besides, if the quantity currently in inventory is used it has to be replaced at open market price.

Disposal value would have been used if the material in question is not being used

The relevant of 700 liters is given below:

$5.81*1000=$5,810

1000 liters has to be bought not 700 liters as the least quantity available for sale is 1000 liters.

Above,it would be wrong to choose option D as 700 liters is not available
