Crandall Company sells flags with team logos. Crandall has fixed costs of $583,200 per year plus variable costs of $4.80 per flag. Each flag sells for $12.00. Requirements: : Use the equation approach to compute the number of flags Crandall must sell each year to break even. : Use the contribution margin ratio approach to compute the dollar sales CRandall needs to earn $33,000 in operating income for 2018. ( Round the contribution margin ratio to two decimal places.) : Prepare Crandall's contribution margin income statement for the year ended December 31, 2018, for sales of 70,000 flags. ( Round your final answers up to the next whole number). : The company is considering an expansion that will increase fixed costs by 21% and variable costs by $0.60 per flag. Compute the new breakeven point in units and in dollars. Should Crandall undertake the expansion? Give your reasoning. (Round your final answers up to the next whole number).
Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis
Cost Volume Profit (CVP) analysis is a cost accounting method that analyses the effect of fluctuating cost and volume on the operating profit. Also known as break-even analysis, CVP determines the break-even point for varying volumes of sales and cost structures. This information helps the managers make economic decisions on a short-term basis. CVP analysis is based on many assumptions. Sales price, variable costs, and fixed costs per unit are assumed to be constant. The analysis also assumes that all units produced are sold and costs get impacted due to changes in activities. All costs incurred by the company like administrative, manufacturing, and selling costs are identified as either fixed or variable.
Marginal Costing
Marginal cost is defined as the change in the total cost which takes place when one additional unit of a product is manufactured. The marginal cost is influenced only by the variations which generally occur in the variable costs because the fixed costs remain the same irrespective of the output produced. The concept of marginal cost is used for product pricing when the customers want the lowest possible price for a certain number of orders. There is no accounting entry for marginal cost and it is only used by the management for taking effective decisions.
