A product is priced to sell for $12 with average variable costs of $8. The company expects to ear a profit of $400,000 with its total fixed costs of $120,000. Calculate the minimum number of units that must be sold in order to reach this target return.

Carlyle Lighting Products produces two different types of lamps: a floor lamp and a desk lamp. Floor lamps sell for $30 and desk lamps sell for $20. The projected income statement for the upcoming year follows: Sales $600,000 Less: Variable costs 400,000 Contribution margin 200,000 Less: Fixed costs 150,000 Operating income $50,000 The owner of Carlyle’s estimates that 60 percent of the sales revenues will be produced by floor lamps and the remaining 40 percent by desk lamps. Floor lamps are also responsible for 60 percent of the variable expenses. Of the fixed expenses, one-third are common to both products, and one-half are directly traceable to the floor lamp product line. Required: By what percentage will profits increase with this change in sales volume? What is the theory behind the operating leverage concept?

You need 1,000 units of product Y per month. You currently make product Y in-house at a cost of $7/unit, which consists of $2/unit of fixed costs and $5/unit of variable costs. An outside supplier has offered to manufacture product Y for you at a wholesale price of $2 per unit. If you outsource the production of Y to the outside supplier in the short term, your profit will: increase by $3,000 decrease by $2,000 remain the same decrease by $3,000 increase by $2,000
Amarjit Truckers, Ltd. operates a fleet of delivery trucks in North America. The company has determined that, if a truck is driven 120,000 kilometres during a year, the average operating cost is 18.000 cents per kilometre. If a truck is driven only 50,000 kilometres during a year, the average operating cost increases to 21.0 cents per kilometre. Required: 1. Using the high - low method, estimate the variable and fixed cost elements of the annual cost of truck operation. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the "Variable cost" to 5 decimal places. Round "Fixed cost" to 2 decimal places.) 2. Express the variable and fixed costs in the form Y = a + bX. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the "Variable cost" to 5 decimal places. Round "Fixed cost" to 2 decimal places.) 3. If a truck were driven 80,000 kilometres during a year, what total cost would you expect to be incurred? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Total annual cost" to 2 decimal places.)
