Required:
3. How many units must Queens sell to earn operating income equal to
$9,900?
X = (FC + Income) / (CM/ U) [we use CM/ U here because we are finding
units)
X = ($10,350 + $9,900) / ($3)
Where CM / U = $15,000 / $5,000 = $3
$6,750 units
8. How many units must Queens sell to earn operating income equal to 15%
of revenue?
0.15 (15x) = 15x – 12x - $10,350
x = $13,800 units
2) Pratt Company produces and sells disposable foil baking pans to retailers for
$2.45 per pan. The variable costs per pan are as follows:
DM $0.27
DL 0.58
Variable overhead 0.63
Selling 0.17
Fixed manufacturing costs total $131,650 per year. Administrative costs (all fixed) total
$18,350.
Required:
1.Compute the number of pans that must be sold for Pratt to break even.
X = FC + 0 / (CM / u)
X = $150,000 / (0.8) -> $2.45 - $1.65 = $0.80
$187,500 units
2.How many pans must be sold for Pratt to earn a before-tax profit of $12,600?
X = FC + income / (CM / U)
X = $150,000 + $12,600 / (0.8) = 203,250 units
3.What is the unit variable cost? What is the unit variable manufacturing cost?
Which is used in c-v-p (cost volume profit) analysis and why?
4.Assuming a tax rate of 40%, how many pans must be sold to earn an after-tax
profit of $25,200?
x = FC + [ATNI / 1 – T] / (CM / U)
x = $150,000 + [25,200 / 0.6] / (0.8) = 240,000 pans
3/ The Queens Company had revenues of $930,000 last year with total variable costs of
$399,900 and fixed costs of $307,800.
Required:
1. What are the CM and VC ratios?
CM ratio = $930,000 (sales) - $399,900 (VC) = $530,100
$530,100 / $930,000 = 0.57
VC = 1 – 0.57 = 0.43
Or $399,900 / $930,000 = 0.43
If advertising causes sales to increase by $7,500, volume will have increased and
not sales p/u.
This means V/C increases.
Original I/S
Sales = $930,000
VC = ($399,900)
CM = $530,100
FC = (307,800)
Income = $222,300
