Paul believes the restaurant could greatly improve its profitability by reducing the complexity and selling price of its entrees to increase the number of clients that it serves. It would then more heavily market its appetizers and beverages. He is proposing to reduce the contribution margin ratio on the main entrees to 10% by dropping the average selling price. He envisions an expansion of the restaurant that would increase fixed costs by $585,000. At the same time, he is proposing to change the sales mix to the following. Percent of Total Sales Contribution Margin Ratio Appetizers 25% 70% Main entrees 25 % 10 % Desserts 10 % Beverages 40 % 80 % 80 % Compute the total restaurant sales, and the sales of each product line that would be necessary to achieve the desired target net income. (Round intermediate calculations to 3 decimal places e.g. 10.251 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,510.)

Hudson Corporation is considering three options for managing its data warehouse: continuing with its own staff, hiring an outside vendor to do the managing, or using a combination of its own staff and an outside vendor. The cost of the operation depends on future demand. The annual cost of each option (in thousands of dollars) depends on demand as follows: If the demand probabilities are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3, which decision alternative will minimize the expected cost of the data warehouse? What is the expected annual cost associated with that recommendation? Construct a risk profile for the optimal decision in part (a). What is the probability of the cost exceeding $700,000?
Kylies Cookies is considering the purchase of a larger oven that will cost $2,200 and will increase her fixed costs by $59. What would happen if she purchased the new oven to realize the variable cost savings of $0.10 per cookie, and what would happen if she raised her price by just $0.20? She feels confident that such a small price increase will decrease the sales by only 25 units and may help her offset the increase in fixed costs. Given the following current prices how would the break-even in units and dollars change if she doesnt increase the selling price and if she does increase the selling price? Complete the monthly contribution margin income statement for each of these cases.

Two alternative locations are under consideration for a new plant: Jackson, Mississippi, and Dayton, Ohio. The Jackson location is superior in terms of costs. However, management believes that sales volume would decline if this location were chosen because it is farther from the market, and the firm's customers prefer local suppliers. The selling price of the product is $350 per unit in either case. Use the following information to determine which location yields the higher total profit per year: Location Jackson Dayton The annual profit from Jackson is $ Annual Fixed Cost $2,100,000 $3,000,000 Variable Cost per Unit 45 $95 Forecasted Demand per Year 35,000 units 39,000 units (Enter your response as an integer.) ..
Meyerson’s Bakery is considering the addition of a new line of pies to its product offerings. However, the following scenarios could be faced by this Bakery for the new line: First scenario: It is expected that each pie will sell for $17 and the variable costs per pie will be $11. Total fixed operating costs are expected to be $25,000. Meyerson’s faces a marginal tax rate of 25%, will have interest expense associated with this line of $3,500, and expects to sell about 4,500 pies in the first year. Second scenario: It is expected that each pie will sell for $15 and the variable costs per pie will be $9. Total fixed operating costs are expected to be $20,000. Meyerson’s faces a marginal tax rate of 35%, will have interest expense associated with this line of $3,000, and expects to sell about 4,000 pies in the first year. 1. Under the first scenario, How many pies would Meyerson’s need to sell in order to achieve EBIT of $20,000? (EBIT = Earnings Before Interest and Taxes).…

Expo Lube is interested in producing and selling an industrial line of oil filters. Market research indicates that wholesale customers are currently willing to pay $8 for similar filters, and that Expo Lube could sell 80,000 units per year at that price. a. If Expo Lube requires a 21 percent return on sales, what is its target cost for the proposed industrial line of filters? b. Assume that market research reveals several of Expo Lube’s direct competitors are likely to lower the wholesale price of similar filters to $7 per unit. To remain competitive, what will Expo Lube’s target cost have to be to maintain a 21 percent return on sales? c. At a wholesale price of $7, Expo Lube estimates that it can sell 83,800 industrial filters per year instead of 80,000 units. Assuming its target costs are attainable, how much more or less profit per year will the company earn at the $7 wholesale price compared to the initial wholesale price estimate of $8?
