In 2019, Crest Company provided the following data: Sales price per unit P100; Variable cost per unit P60; Total fixed cost at P1,500,000. For 2020, Crest Company is planning to buy a machine that will reduce the production workers and cut the sales price of the product at the same time. The new machine will increase the fixed cost by P500,000 due to depreciation; variable cost per unit will decrease by 25% due to reduction of direct workers; and the sales price will be reduced by 10%. What is the profit (before tax) if the company produces and sells 45,000 units in 2020? 25,000 26,000 27,000 28,000

In 2019, Bonita sold 1000 units at $500 each, and earned net income of $40000. Variable expenses were $200 per unit, and fixed expenses were $220000. The same selling price is expected for 2020. Bonita’s variable cost per unit will rise by 10% in 2020 due to increasing material costs, so they are tentatively planning to cut fixed costs by $10000. How many units must Bonita sell in 2020 to maintain the same income level as 2019? A. 806 B. 893 C. 1000 D. 926

The company is planning to use a new material throughout 2023. This will reduce variable costs by 10%. Fixed costs are expected to remain unchanged. As the factory's output is nearing its annual output capacity of 38,000 units, the company plans to increase the selling price by 5%. This will decrease sales volume by 20%. Use cost-volume-profit analysis to determine whether the company should proceed with the plan.

Flanders Manufacturing is considering purchasing a new machine that will reduce variable costs per part produced by $0.15. The machine will increase fixed costs by $18,250 per year. The information they will use to consider these changes is shown here. The following names are to be used when completing this problem: Operating Income Variable Costs Sales Fixed Costs per Unit Selling Price per Unit Variable Cost per Unit Contribution Margin Fixed Costs Operating Loss If Flanders purchases the new machinery, what will be the company’s break-even point in units? . Use commas as needed (i.e. 1,234). If Flanders purchases the new machinery, what will be the company’s break-even point in dollars? . Rounded to whole dollars and shown with "$" and commas as needed (i.e. $12,345). Assuming Flanders purchases the new machinery, construct a contribution margin income statement for sale of 216,000 units. Rounded to whole dollars and shown with "$" and commas as needed (i.e.…
Techno Corporation is currently manufacturing an item at variable costs of $5 per unit. Annual fixed costs of manufacturing this item are $140,000. The current selling price of the item is $10 per unit, and the annual sales volume is 30,000 units. Alternatively, Techno could increase the selling price to $11 per unit. However, the annual sales volume would be limited to 45,000 units. Should Techno buy the new equipment and raise the price of the item? Why or why not?
Ore Company produces bookcases. Sales were good in 2019. However, with the slowdown in the economy, the Chief Financial Officer is concerned about the sales for 2020. The income statement for 2020 is as follows: Sales revenue $600,000 Less: Variable costs $360,000 Contribution margin $240,000 Less: Fixed costs $140,000 Net profit $100,000 The company expects to sell 60,000 units in 2020. Compare different types of cost behaviours to do the following: (a) Use cost-volume-profit analysis to determine the breakeven point in units and in dollars. (b) Use cost-volume-profit analysis to determine the margin of safety in units and in dollars. (c) Assuming that cost behaviour pattern remains unchanged, compute the decrease in net income if sales revenue dropped by $200,000 in 2020.
Spring Manufacturing sold 610,000 units of its product for $98 per unit in 2019. Variable cost per unit is $50, and total fixed costs are $1,870,000.Required:1. Calculate (a) contribution margin and (b) operating income.2. Spring’s current manufacturing process is labor intensive. Jim Gate, Spring’s productionmanager, has proposed investing in state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, which will increase the annual fixed costs to $6,770,000. The variable costs are expected to decrease to $35 per unit. Spring expects to maintain the same sales volume and selling price next year. How would acceptance of Gate’s proposal affect your answers to (a) and (b) in requirement 1?3. Should Spring accept Gate’s proposal? Explain.
