Delta Tools Inc. sold 500,000 units of its product for €80 per unit in 2023. The variable cost per unit is €65, and total fixed costs are €2,000,000. Delta's manufacturing manager proposes upgrading to an automated system. If accepted, the proposal will: Increase annual fixed costs to €6,000,000, and • Decrease variable costs to €60 per unit. Delta expects to maintain the same sales volume and selling price. What would be the new contribution margin per unit and the new operating profit if the proposal is accepted?

What impact will these cost changes have on operating profit for the year? Will profit go up? Down? By how much?
The Falling Snow Company is considering production of a lighted world globe that the company would price at a markup of 0.30 above full cost. Management estimates that the variable cost of the globe will be $62 per unit and fixed costs per year will be $240,000.

Your Company is considering the addition of a new product to its current product lines. The expected cost and revenue data for the new product are as follows: Annual sales in units 3,000 Selling price per unit $309 Variable costs per unit: Production $130 Selling $50 Traceable annual fixed costs: Production $51,000 Selling $75,000 Allocated annual fixed cost $54,000 If the new product is added to the existing product line, then sales of existing products will decline. As a consequence, the contribution margin of the existing product lines is expected to drop $78,000 per year. What is the increase in net income if the new product is added next year? This is a reverse drop the segment. New CM is positive and new FC and lost CM are negative.

Heat Inc. sells computer hard drives, and the market is competitive (i.e., sales price will not be affected by Heat's sales volume). Its EBIT for 2022 was $69,000 when the sales quantity was 500 units. In 2023, its EBIT was $119,000 when the sales quantity was 700 units. a) Calculate its contribution margin per unit and total fixed costs. b) Calculate the degree of operating leverage for 2022 and 2023. c) If Heat changes its production technology by doubling its fixed costs and the breakeven (indifferent) quantity is 1, 120 units, find the new contribution margin. Heat has $40,000 debt that pays annual interest of 15% and 2,000 outstanding common shares that are trading at $25.
